Community Workshops and Events
Suicide Prevention Training
Suicide is the leading cause of death in Australia for anyone under the age of 44 years. We are taking a community-wide approach to suicide prevention in our region, which includes supporting various free training opportunities in suicide prevention for health professionals and the community.
These activities are part of the Australian and NSW governments' Targeted Regional Initiatives for Suicide Prevention and Towards Zero Suicides fundings.
Touchpoints Community Workshops
We have funded Roses in the Ocean to deliver Touchpoints Community Workshop. This free four-hour workshop is designed specifically to give community members an insight into suicide through the lens of lived experience and equip them with the right knowledge and practical tools to reduce others’ emotional pain. On completion of this workshop, you can expect to have attained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the complexity of suicide, increased confidence and capacity to engage with people in crises, debunked commonly held suicide myths with facts and more.
These interactive workshops are delivered by Roses in the Ocean trained lived experience facilitators and trainers.
