We regret to advise that the ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) session in Monto on 15-16 May 2024 has been cancelled. Unfortunately the organisation delivering the training has been unable to secure a trainer for this session.

We have however sourced an alternate suicide prevention training option should you wish to register. See attached flyer and below link for more details. Should we have enough registrations, the CALM Suicide Intervention Skills Training will run on 15 May 2024 at the Monto Shire Hall for one full day. It will also be fully catered.
