WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This workshop is for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the Sunshine Coast (including Gympie), and stakeholders who work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Anyone can learn the skills to intervene and save a life from suicide. If you want to be able to help an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person in need, much the same way that you might learn CPR, please consider this training to help us create a suicide-safer community.
Please note:
When registering for I-ASIST, it is important to understand that this is a commitment to two consecutive days of training. The skills developed through this training cannot be gained via a shorter time commitment, or by completing one day of training and hoping to complete the second day at a later date.
