Suicide Prevention Training

What is it?

Suicide prevention skills training – sometimes referred to as gatekeeper training –  is one of the most effective prevention approaches. When people are thinking about suicide, they almost always express their pain in ways that invite others to reach out and help. Training empowers everyone to recognize the signs of suicide, help keep them safe, access further support and find hope.

HOW DO I GET IT

Who is it for?

Suicide prevention skills training is for everyone. LivingWorks’ training courses are designed to empower a community-based approach to suicide prevention. We enable everyone to play a role, creating powerful safety networks to support entire communities.

HOW DO I GET IT

Why do I need it?

By training as many people as possible throughout communities and workplaces, we can create safer environments for us to live, work, play and learn. Anyone, regardless of background or experience, can learn skills to start the conversation, to help keep someone safe and to connect them to further support.

See The

Evidence

Over 50 peer-reviewed studies and government reports show that LivingWorks programs increase a person’s skills to recognize signs someone is having thoughts of suicide and to confidently intervene to help keep them safe. We know our training works as we encourage rigorous evaluation of our programs to ensure we uphold the gold standard of evidence-based suicide prevention training.

Evidence & Impacts

Success Stories

We have finished our second ASIST training and everyone who attended had positive feedback and most actually said for the first time they attended a training session and felt they actually got some real-life skills.

Richelle | Rail Safety Advisor

I’ve lost multiple people to suicide in my lifetime. My children have lost multiple friends in the last 10 years. My son is a chef and it’s a big problem in that industry. As a parent, this has given me so much more confidence in knowing it takes the whole village, and there is a whole village out there.

Chrissy | LivingWorks Trainer & Parent

As a long-time family violence worker, I’ve been lucky enough to attend two ASIST trainings. The value of learning these skills cannot be overstated, for both your professional and personal lives. We all look at the horrifying statistics and wonder what can be done – undertaking training in suicide first aid so that more people in our communities have the skills and confidence to support others is part of the answer.
