Opening conversations around suicide is vital to increase awareness and help prevent suicide in our communities – but knowing exactly how to do that can be daunting.

More than 10 million Australian adults are estimated to know someone who has died by suicide.

One in two young people are impacted by suicide by the time they turn 25 and about eight-to-nine lives are lost by suicide every day.

The Wesley LifeForce Suicide Prevention training educates people about suicide,

challenging attitudes, teaching basic engagement and suicide intervention skills.

Locals have the opportunity to gain increased confidence in your ability to identify people who may be at risk of suicide, communicate appropriately, ask a person if they are considering suicide and conduct a suicide intervention by attending free suicide prevention training provided by Wesley Mission.
