Wesley LifeForce Suicide Awareness Session - Maroochydore, QLD

1 hour suicide awareness seminar

Suicide prevention training

Informed by the latest research in suicide prevention, Wesley LifeForce has developed a quality suite of suicide prevention training. Our suicide prevention training equips participants with the knowledge and skills to increase awareness of suicide in Australia, identify the signs that someone may be at risk of suicide and appropriate action to take. Effective interventions can make a real difference and save lives. Our programs aim at training individuals from all walks of life, as well as organisational groups. All Wesley LifeForce facilitators are accredited trainers and have completed suicide intervention training.

Our suicide awareness seminar is an introductory course aimed at increasing awareness of suicide and key supports available to support a person in distress. Below you will find an outline of our suicide awareness seminar.

The outcomes:

• Understanding of the incidence of suicide in Australia
• Awareness of the signs that indicate a person needs support
• Knowledge of the national and local resources available to support

Ensuring participant safety

Our workshop material is specifically designed keeping participant’s safety in mind. The course material is vetted by MindFrame – an Australian Government body which provides expert advice to the suicide prevention sector on responsible reporting/portrayal of the issue of suicide.
