On this page you will find information on the Ask, Tell Respond digital resources that have been developed in collaboration with Public Health Scotland and NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and further developed in partnership with local boards/organisations and people with lived experience. These free digital learning resources are already in use across Scotland with continued interest from a wide range of agencies and individuals.
The learning resources outlined below provide an opportunity for those individuals who have previously attended training such as Scotland’s Mental Health First Aid (SMHFA); SMHFA YP (young persons); ASIST and safeTALK programmes to refresh their knowledge on mental health and suicide prevention as well as expanding their knowledge around self-harm.

Ask, Tell Animations - Adult
Three educational animations which inform individuals working with Adults about mental health, how to maintain this; the factors that can lead to mental distress or mental ill-health; how to have compassionate conversations which sets out how to support people who are experiencing mental distress or may be feeling suicidal and help them seek help. Each animation is around 5 minutes. Although these can be viewed on their own, it would be recommended that these are viewed as part of a wider learning activity. (See ELearning Module)
