The Conversations about Suicide course teaches participants how to recognise, understand and respond to a friend, family member, co-worker or other person, experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviours. It is perfectly timed, one week before R U OK? Day, to increase your confidence to have meaningful conversations.

Course participants learn how to recognise and respond to suicidal thoughts and behaviours, provide support and encourage pathways to professional help.

Using a practical, evidence-based action plan, participants learn how to approach someone they are concerned about and initiate a conversation about those concerns. Participants also learn how to offer initial support and information and how to encourage the person to seek professional help or other supports.

This course is recognised by Suicide Prevention Australia as a safe, high-quality, and effective suicide prevention program.
