Grapevine Group has trained more than 7000 people in suicide prevention across Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday regions and the community is invited to attend the next free safeTALK training session on Wednesday, July 23 at 6pm at Ocean International, Mackay.
This internationally recognised training teaches participants how to recognise when someone may be at risk of suicide. It also provides the skills to engage in open and supportive conversations with those experiencing suicidal thoughts. Most importantly, it empowers individuals to connect those at risk with the appropriate help and resources.
“Every person trained is another potential life saved,” said Grapevine Group president Debbie Knight.
“We’re calling on the community to help us grow this network of safety and support.”
safeTALK is open to anyone aged 15 and over and requires no prior experience. Whether you're a parent, teacher, coach, colleague, or friend, this training gives you the tools to make a real difference.
You can book by downloading Grapevine Group’s app or visiting the website, www.grapevinegroup.org.au
Organisations can also request free on-site safeTALK sessions or Suicide Mythbusters toolbox talks for workplaces, sports clubs, or community groups by emailing training@grapevinegroup.org.au.
Together, we can keep the conversation going – and keep saving lives.
