Talking about Suicide: 10 Tools (TAS:10)
What is TAS10?
TAS:10 is for everyone.
No prior training needed.
Talking about suicide is our best form of prevention. And yet common fears like this can get in the way of us starting a conversation:
"What if I say the wrong thing?"
"What if I make things worse?"
"What if I put the idea in their head?"
Talking about Suicide: 10 Tools (TAS:10) is an accessible, sensitive and safe training session that will equip you with 10 practical tools and inspire confidence to have a compassionate and potentially life-saving conversation with someone you are worried about.

TAS:10 was created by Rose Rowkins and Ann Feloy, in memory of Ann's vibrant, popular son Oliver took his own life in 2017, aged 22.
With TAS:10, Ann wanted to create accessible training that “gives people the tools I wish I’d had when my son needed me most.”
TAS:10 is now part of the curriculum at several UK medical schools, as part of the innovative Dr SAMS (Suicide Awareness in Medical Students) initiative by the charity Ann founded, Olly's Future.
