The four-hour Conversations about suicide (Mental Health First Aid) course is based on the renowned MHFA program guidelines for suicidal thoughts and behaviours. Launched on World Mental Health Day (10th October 2016) this workshop focuses on the critical issue of suicide and how to effectively respond.
Please note that the workshop is not a postvention course and is not recommended for individuals recently bereaved by suicide. It is not a therapy or support group, and it is important that people undertaking the course are feeling relatively robust when they participate.
For anyone seeking postvention support services, please refer to the Beyondblue website.
