There are often subtle signs that someone is struggling with life, and when these feelings become unbearable, they may start thinking suicide is their only option. 

 

The Suicide rate in Australia is higher than the National Road Toll and is THE leading cause of death in 15 - 44 year olds. 

 

Suicide has never been a criminal offence in the code states of Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania. However, in Common Law States, Suicide remained a crime until legislatively abolished in 1967 with Victoria being the first to decriminalised the act of committing or attempting to "Commit Suicide". In 1983, New South Wales and South Australia followed suit. It was not decriminalised until 1990 in the Australian Capital Territory and as late as 1996 in the Northern Territory. Despite this, there is still so much prejudice and discrimination around this and for some, it is sadly regarded as being taboo. Is it any surprise then that there are over a MILLION phone calls made to Lifeline alone each year? Isn’t it about time we had these conversations with our loved ones, friends and colleagues?

  • Rate is 3 times higher for males than females
  • Males aged 85+ have the highest rate
  • If someone has made a previous attemp, they are likely to try again 

This 4-hour CALM Care program teaches you how to be suicide aware and recognise when someone may be thinking about ending their life. The skills learnt in this course will help you to recognise the subtle warning signs that are often missed or overlooked, how to approach the person, make a connection, and know what to say. Above all, it will also give you the confidence to manage this type of crisis.
