Suicide Intervention

    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.


    This is an evidence-informed program that is based on the very latest research and is focused on providing life-saving connections for someone when they are feeling their most vulnerable.
