Wesley LifeForce Suicide Prevention Workshop, Aged Care Staff - NSW

One hour workshop

Suicide prevention training

Our specialised programs are designed to equip you with leading methodology and strategies in suicide awareness, prevention, intervention and reporting.

For aged care providers, the safety and wellbeing of residents is paramount. Equipping your Aged Care Workers with the necessary knowledge and skills to record or report someone at risk of suicide in your facility is vital and the Australian Bureau of Statiostics identifies the elderly as a high risk group.

The training

Wesley LifeForce has developed quality suicide prevention training. Our Suicide Prevention Workshop is designed to teach people how to identify the signs that someone may be at risk of suicide and appropriate action to take. Simple effective interventions can make a real difference and save lives. All Wesley LifeForce facilitators are accredited trainers and have completed suicide intervention training. Many are also accredited counsellors.

Ensuring participant safety

All workshop material is specifically designed with participant’s safety in mind. Our 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.
