Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	E-learning	The training consists of an e-learning module created on the RISE - Articulate platform, and is based on previously developed e-learning modules (SP-reflex) and physical training aimed at other target groups, but was adapted to the specific context of detention. This specific training will consist of sensitising information, theoretical knowledge, as well as some concrete tools and tips for suicide prevention within detention. Relevant examples and cases will be discussed. The following topics, among others, will be discussed: * How common is suicide? * What myths exist about suicide? * Why do people contemplate suicide? * What is the process from suicidal thoughts to suicide? * How do I recognise signs of suicidal thoughts? * What can I do if I notice signs? * What if someone attempts suicide or a suicide occurs? * How do I take care of myself?
