Course Description:
Thoughts of suicide are common, but when it’s a family member, friend, or coworker, we can be unsure of what to say or do. This workshop is for anyone who wants to increase their understanding of suicide and learn basic steps to provide initial support. It provides practical guidance on recognising warning signs, listening, and connecting to further help. The workshop has been tailored for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander
Communities and is co-facilitated by an Aboriginal trainer.
Objectives
- Recognise signs that someone might be having thoughts of suicide.
- Explore barriers that can prevent people from seeking help.
- Discuss strategies to support people experiencing thoughts of suicide and connect them with appropriate supports.
Who will benefit from this training?
- Anyone, including workplaces and community groups.
- Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples and/or non-indigenous people who support Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander communities.
