Wesley LifeForce Supporting Young People Suicide Prevention Workshop

Suicide prevention Training

Suicide prevention training for supporting young people

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 supporting young people suicide prevention training is a program which was created in consultation with youth support providers and lived experience.
