The Suicide Prevention Workshop is designed to teach people how to identify the signs that someone may be at risk of suicide, and the appropriate action to take. Informed by the latest research in suicide prevention, Wesley LifeForce training equips participants with a variety of skills such as managing suicidal crisis, understanding risk and protective factors, and how to recognise potential warning signs.

Wesley LifeForce programs are designed to equip you with leading methodology and strategies in suicide prevention and intervention. To keep abreast of new developments, our programs are regularly reviewed by our national Advisory Board, consisting of leading Australian researchers and practitioners in the field.
