Our programs offer a range of options for anyone interested in increasing suicide safety in everyday care situations or formal helping roles.
Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) |
| Focus: suicide intervention training
Timeframe: two days In ASIST, people learn to apply a suicide intervention model. It helps caregivers recognise when someone may be at risk of suicide. It then explores how to connect with them in ways that understand and clarify that risk, increase their immediate safety and link them with further help. Over 80,000 people in Australia have attended ASIST which is available in all states and territories. |
ASIST TuneUp |

safeTALK: suicide alertness for everyone |
