‘Pick up the early warning signs, know what to say, what to do and where to go for.’
CORES-Queensland is dedicated to fostering community-led initiatives to combat suicide through targeted training and workshops. Their upcoming events in the region are designed to equip participants with vital skills when it comes to suicide prevention and self-care.
Suicide Intervention Training – September 16
On September 16, from 9:00pm to 4:00pm, CORES-Queensland will host a comprehensive Suicide Intervention Training session at NQPHN, 2/45 Victoria Street, Mackay.
This training aims to provide essential skills for recognising and responding to individuals at risk of suicide.
Participants will learn to Identify early warning signs of suicide, support individuals in accessing available services, encourage proactive help-seeking behaviours before a crisis occurs and not only develop, but also identify personal self-care strategies.
The training is designed to prepare attendees to handle potential crises effectively, although it is not a crisis service itself. The cost of the training is $25.00, with participants asked to bring their own lunch.
If cost is a barrier, contact CORES-Queensland for information on free sponsorships.

The workshop will provide practical resources for enhancing physical, emotional and mental health. This workshop costs $25.00 and free sponsorships are available upon request.
