Suicide Intervention Training
Every week, 50 people die by suicide in Australia.
Caregivers of those at risk need to be able to spot the warning signs, and know how to reach out to people.
Anglicare NT will be conducting a two- day Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) workshop for people wanting to learn suicide ‘first aid’ skills on the February 4 & 5 at the Darwin Sailing Club, Fannie Bay.
The LivingWorks ASIST model provides practical help for caregivers seeking to prevent the immediate risk of suicide. Participants learn to recognise and review suicide risk and develop intervention skills. The emphasis is on suicide ‘first aid’ – helping a person at risk stay safe and seek further help. The program enables you to make an initial response and become a link to further community help for those at risk of suicide.
Please find attached further information about the workshop and a registration form for anyone wishing to attend.
Pease note that there are limited places available for this workshop and registrations close Wednesday January 28 2015.
