Wesley LifeForce Suicide Prevention Half-Day Workshop - Collie, WA

Four hour suicide prevention training

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. Below you will find an outline of our workshops.

The outcomes

• understand risk and protective factors
• how to identify the warning signs that someone may be at risk of suicide
• how to ask directly about suicide intent
• understand what local and national support and resources are available to support a person at risk

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.
