The Proserpine Community Centre and Community Response to Eliminating Suicide (CORES) will be hosting their next Suicide Prevention Training for Whitsunday locals next week.
This training will equip participants with the ability to identify the early warning signs of suicide so they know what to say, what to do, and where to go to get further help.
Also on the training agenda is essential skills to help an individual at risk, how to support that person to access services, and how to promote help-seeking behaviour before a crisis occurs.
Each participant will also be able to identify their own self-care strategies, in order to keep themselves safe and healthy.
WHAT: CORES Suicide Intervention Training
WHERE: Proserpine Community Centre, 36 Gardenia Street
