By attending this workshop to become suicide-alert, you're joining a growing network of Sunshine Coast residents, businesses and organisations committed to playing their part to make our community safer from suicide.
Please note that this is a four-hour education workshop, not a therapy or support group. If you feel distressed during this workshop, you are encouraged to speak to the community support officer present at this training. safeTALK is not recommended for people who have been impacted by a suicide in the last 12 months.
