The Benang Program

Regular training is offered by the Benang Program, which was created to meet the needs of the local Aboriginal community to help address the increasing statistics of Aboriginal youth suicide. The aim of the program is to provide education on suicide prevention to schools and community groups and to provide information on services available to assist individuals and families dealing with mental health issues.

safeTalk 

Regular 3.5 hour safeTALK – Suicide Alertness For Everyone Training is offered by the Suicide Prevention Program. The half-day training, which is widely used by professionals and general public, provides suicide alertness skills training including teaching you four steps to create a life-saving connection. Studies have shown the program helps participants ask people about suicide directly, helps connect them with life-saving resources and how to keep people safe until those resources take over.
