The Education and Training Program promotes professional workshops, seminars, and presentations on a variety of subjects. The Support Network offers two main kinds of suicide prevention workshops formats:
Suicide Awareness:
Covers general information on suicide and discusses how to help someone with suicidal thoughts. Workshop length varies from one to four hours. Workshops can be customized to meet your organization's needs. Phone 482-0198 for more information.
Suicide Intervention:
These workshops are designed for those seeking more comprehensive training and experience helping someone with suicidal thoughts. These workshops are offered in one-day, two-day, and refresher formats.
The aim of this learning experience is to increase the understanding and knowledge of suicide for individuals who are in a helping relationship with people who might be at risk for suicide. Some factors that put people at risk for suicide include: experiencing significant losses, facing multiple stressors, isolation, and having few resources. Trainers will tailor the sessions to meet needs of any special areas of interest, depending on composition of the group.

Comparing the One and Two-Day Suicide Intervention Workshop Formats
If suicide intervention training is a requirement of your employment, please consult with your employer regarding the format required to meet your qualifications.
The one-day suicide intervention workshop format is a thorough introduction to suicide intervention and is recommended for those seeking to increase their knowledge of suicide prevention. It is also appropriate for those wishing to obtain recertification. Registering in the one-day suicide intervention course is equivalent to the refresher training format.
The two-day suicide intervention workshop is recommended for individuals working with at-risk populations where contact with individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts is highly probable. In addition to the material covered in the one-day format, the two-day suicide intervention format allows for:
For whom: People who already have a certificate for suicide intervention training of 8 hours duration or longer
Due to low enrolment, we are no longer offering this as a separate workshop. Taking the One-Day Suicide Intervention Training is the equivalent of Refresher Training.
All Workshop times: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
