Summary

This study aims to investigate to what extent a gatekeeper training (e-learning) for people working in prison is applicable in their daily practice.

Moreover the study wants to investigate the impact of the e-learning on the knowledge, the attitudes and perceptions of the people working in prison on suiicide (prevention) as well as their feeling of self-efficacy in dealing with people in prison suffering from suicidal ideation of behavior.

Conditions

  • Suicide Prevention

Interventions

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?
