And a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity." Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. Luke 13:11-13

    By the end of this training attendees will be able to:
     
  • Identify current relevant suicide data relating to demographics, means and methods
  • Explore the relevant research surrounding the suicidal mind
