LivingWorks ASIST is a two-day, in-person workshop featuring powerful audiovisuals, discussions and simulations.
You’ll explore how personal and community attitudes towards suicide can affect someone’s openness to seek help and your ability to provide it. This workshop is designed to increase your willingness, confidence and capacity to offer suicide first aid.
Two knowledgeable and supportive trainers will guide you through the course, ensuring a comfortable and safe learning environment.
This workshop is free for anyone living, working, volunteering or studying in the City of Rockingham.
Important information:
This course focuses on topics including mental health concerns, suicide and self-harm. We encourage participants to consider their wellbeing and whether this is the right time to engage with these topics. If you do need to withdraw, please let us know and we can place you on the notification list for future workshops.
Please note, this course is not suitable for individuals with recent experiences of mental ill health or suicide, and is educational rather than therapeutic in nature.
