Mental Health First Aid - Conversations about Suicide

In association with Vincentia Matters, Shoalhaven Health and Arts is proud to deliver the highly acclaimed Mental Health First Aid training - Conversations about Suicide. In this training you will learn how to provide initial support to someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviours, until professional help is received or the crisis resolves. 

You will learn how to recognise and respond to suicidal thoughts and behaviours, provide support and encourage pathways to professional help. 

Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, you will learn how to approach someone you are concerned about and initiate a conversation about those concerns. You will also learn how to offer initial support and information and how to encourage the person to seek professional help or other supports. 

This course is recognised by Suicide Prevention Australia as a safe, high-quality, and effective suicide prevention program.
