CALM
1-Day workshop
Australia's only QIP Accredited Program for Suicide Intervention Training
What is CALM?
Learn how to understand, respond to and prevent suicide. An evidence based, Australian training program that empowers you to have a ‘CALM conversation’ about suicide, to reduce stigma, promote help seeking and save lives.
CALM empowers participants to recognise and respond to suicide risk, and to support someone through stages of positive intervention, the development of a safety plan, and linking to other services for further help. We deliver the training in a supportive, respectful and inclusive environment, accepting each individual’s differences, with consideration and adaptation for their culturally diverse needs.
CALM helps participants to:
Recognise the five signs of suicide
Make a positive connection
Hold the space and deeply listen
Develop a plan for strength and safety
What you will learn
Factors that contribute to suicide
How to recognise signs that someone may be thinking suicide
How and when to ask about suicide
