Suicide First Aid: Hong Kong's first open to all Cantonese Suicide Intervention Course
“The first time someone told me they were thinking about suicide, I had no idea what to do or say. I found myself frantically searching my phone while trying to comfort them. It doesn’t have to be like this. Everyone should have the skills and confidence to save a life.”
– Jess, The New Normal Charity

Why suicide intervention training matters
In Hong Kong, around three-quarters of people who die by suicide are not in contact with any mental health services in the year before their death. This means suicide prevention is not just a medical issue—it’s a community issue.
Sometimes we feel helpless when it comes to suicide, especially if someone close to us is struggling or we see lots of news about suicide. This course will empower you to help those around you.
Friends, family, colleagues, neighbours, and community groups often have the first opportunity to notice when someone is struggling. By equipping everyday people with the skills to recognise and respond to suicide risk, we can save lives.
Suicide is everyone’s business.
What is Suicide First Aid
The Suicide First Aid (SFA) course gives you the knowledge and practical tools to:
Recognise when someone might be thinking about suicide.
Have compassionate, effective conversations that can save a life.
Help someone stay safe and connect them to further support.
This evidence-based training is internationally recognised as the Gold Standard in Suicide Prevention, moderated and accredited by one of the world’s most respected awarding bodies.
This course is fully translated, all materials, training videos and delivery is in Cantonese.

“I’m grateful to have found this course, there isn’t very much available in Hong Kong so as soon as I saw it I wanted to do it.
In Hong Kong it can feel a little uncomfortable to talk about but I feel so much better equipped to help others after attending this course”
