Recognising and supporting people in crisis

Local people identifying local issues and finding local solutions

A workshop to provide you with the skills to recognise when people in your community may need someone to talk to.

These free workshops seek to build the capacity of individuals and services to be able to identify and assist people within their community when they need it most.

Participants are made aware of what to look out for in community members who may be struggling because of drought, personal crisis or traumatic events.

This workshop will provide participants with strategies to:

• explore how people respond during and after traumatic events
• identify ways to assist people who have been affected by a potentially traumatic event
• identify and assist people who may be at risk to suicide or depression
• explore ways to look after themselves while assisting others.

There is no charge to attend this workshop and it is open to all members of the community.

Morning tea and lunch provided.
