span.toolkit webinar november 2026
Introducing the span.toolkit
The Suicide Prevention for Autism Neuroaffirming Toolkit (span.toolkit) is a co-produced, evidence-based resource portal for healthcare professionals supporting Autistic people experiencing mental health difficulties and suicide-related distress.
In this free 60-minute webinar, Dr. Claire Brown from the Olga Tennison Autism Research Centre will provide a guided walkthrough of the span.toolkit's lived experience-led education materials, autism-adapted clinical tools for identifying and managing suicidal thoughts and behaviour, and guidance on incorporating these resources into existing practice approaches.
The session will cover:
An overview of autistic mental health, suicide risk factors, and barriers to care
What the span.toolkit is and how it was co-produced
How clinical assessment tools can be used in practice
Where to find training, guidance, and support materials
An optional 30-minute Q&A to close.
This webinar will be repeated across the year. Please attend a date that suits you or register to access a recorded session.
The span.toolkit was funded by Suicide Prevention Australia and co-developed with Autistic people in partnership with Amaze, Aspect, Different Journeys, Yellow Ladybugs, Roses in the Ocean, Barwon Health and Monash Health.
