In partnership with St John Ambulance, The Manchester Metropolitan University has developed a Mental Health and Suicide prevention training programme. It focuses on student wellbeing, support, and suicide prevention.   We're incredibly proud to share that the programme has won the Outstanding Support for Students category at last night’s Times Higher Education Awards 2025! 🎉 The programme is freely available and is designed to be inclusive and accessible. In its pilot year at the university, 700 students completed the training, and a further 884 trained the following year. Academic departments and professional services can now access the training as well. Three certified training courses are included in the programme: a wellbeing course for students entering university, a mental health training certificate for advanced students, and a suicide prevention training course. Topics covered in the training include, stigmas, how to recognise mental health issues in others, empathetic communication techniques, understanding factors that may lead to suicidal behaviour, and how to keep people safe.   "We are proud to partner with Manchester Metropolitan University on this exceptional initiative which equips young people with the skills to support mental health and prevent suicide. The programme demonstrates a way forward in tackling the concerning mental health challenges faced by those under-25, and it reflects St John's wider commitment to empowering communities with life-saving first aid knowledge,” said Lorraine Knight, Senior National Account Manager at St John Ambulance.   Dr Lisa Simmons, Faculty Director of Education (Science and Engineering) at Manchester Met, said: “Through our partnership with St John Ambulance we have created a blueprint that I hope other institutions can follow. “I am delighted that Times Higher Education Awards has recognised the huge achievements of the programme, which reflects our – and the whole higher education sector’s – commitment to ensuring no student feels alone, and that we all have a role in supporting one another.”   👏 Huge congratulations to everyone involved! #THEAwards

Today on Armistice Day we honour and commemorate all the brave men and women who served and fought for our freedom.   We remember the 45,000 St John Ambulance volunteers who provided medical aid and the 1,077 of those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War.   Our volunteers were proud to pay their respects this Remembrance Sunday, and to provide first aid cover to over 250 remembrance events across the country.

Across the country, our volunteers paid their respects this Remembrance Sunday. Lest we forget.

Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who have attended events this firework season such as Diwali and Bonfire Night 🎆
