Chief psychologist of the Department of Emergency Situations, Galiya Elgembaeva, conducted training among employees to prevent suicide in crisis situations.
During the event, participants learned the main signs of suicidal thoughts, as well as methods of effective communication with people in emotional crisis. Special attention was paid to active listening and crisis intervention techniques, which help prevent suicide attempts.
The training included practical exercises and role-plays, which allowed the participants to consolidate the acquired knowledge and skills in real situations.
