Talking About Suicide for Community

Registration link

Lifeline WA has worked with Aboriginal subject matter experts to contextualise one of our most important workshops, Talking About Suicide.

In the workshop, we talk about the following questions:

• Should we talk about suicide?
• How common are suicide thoughts and behaviours?
• Can suicide be prevented?
• What can I do to help?

Attendees will gain foundational knowledge about suicide amongst Aboriginal people, including warning signs, how to ask someone if they are thinking about suicide, and ways to connect the person with further support.

Both workshops will be facilitated by Rosalie Kickett, and Brooke Haseldine.
