Summer Training Programme

Support from Every Life Matters for the Grassroots Football Community and beyond

Cumberland FA and Every Life Matters, Cumbria continue to work together To Help Raise The Profile Of The Organisation Across The Cumberland Football Family. 

Every Life Matters strives to take a fresh, innovative and long term approach to suicide prevention and suicide bereavement support in Cumbria. At the heart of their approach to suicide prevention is the belief that all members of the local community can have a part to play in suicide prevention.

Every Life Matter's training aims to reduce the stigma attached to suicide, increase understanding of when someone is at risk of suicide, raise awareness of how to practically support someone, and the range of services and resources available for people in our communities experiencing suicidal thoughts.

The Summer Training Programme offers a wide range of courses to support people across the County

All these courses are fully funded for people living or working in Cumbria (except Youth MHFA which is heavily subsidised) and can be booked by clicking on the link: Every Life Matters Events | Eventbrite

Please note after these current courses Every Life Matters, Cumbria will not be offering open courses until September 2022. Although in-house training may still be available. Please email Every Life Matters for more information on 'in-house' training.
