STORM Skills Training CIC

We are the first fully evaluated suicide prevention training package for the frontline. Supported by over 20 years of peer-reviewed academic research. We are a not-for-profit Community Interest Company that reinvests surplus income into the community. We began as a small research project within the University of Manchester that has grown and evolved into a successful Social Business. Our academic and clinical origin means that our training is supported by research. Studies have demonstrated that the STORM® model of training is effective at improving attitudes, increasing confidence and, importantly, at developing skills. This growth came out of the demand from organisations and individuals wanting to improve their ability to help others. Organisations and individuals who value the lives of others and who invest in training to gain the knowledge and skills needed to help those in distress. With over 1000 STORM® Facilitators (200+ Version 4) and many more participants trained to help those at risk, we are all making a difference to the lives of others in our community. At STORM®, we believe that no one should profit from another person's distress. As a not-for-profit social business we reinvest our surplus income to expand our social impact through our Community Engagement Programme.
