Wesley LifeForce Suicide Prevention Training for Supporting Young People

Welcome to the Supporting Young People Suicide Prevention Full Day Workshop in Richmond, VIC, presented by Wesley LifeForce.

Join us on Thursday 10th April 2025 at 10:00 AM at the Richmond Library Meeting Room, Cnr Swan Street and Bridge Road, Richmond, for essential skills training to recognise and respond to a young person experiencing mental health distress who may be at risk of suicide.

  • Around 9 lives are lost by suicide every day in Australia
  • One in two young people are impacted by suicide by the time they turn 25

Workshop participants will increase confidence in their ability to:

  • Encourage help seeking behaviour
  • Identify signs that a young person in distress may be at risk of suicide
  • Offer support, resources and a safe space for open discussion
  • Ask if the young person is considering suicide
