Clarification of Training Content

To clarify and to ensure that expectations are met, this training will deliver the standard ASIST 11 program version, not an LGBTIQ content adaptation of ASIST. Information about the ASIST 11 program content can be found here: http://www.livingworks.com.au/programs/asist/

However, we know that LGBTIQ people may not feel comfortable attending a generic learning environment where they may encounter stigma, the delivery of this workshop is being designed specifically to support the accessibility, safety and inclusion for LGBTIQ people that will support their learning of suicide intervention skills.

If you would like information about this workshop will provide a safe learning environment for LGBTIQ communities, please contact Sally Morris on smorris@quac.org.au

Also, this workshop will not contain any additional content for participants to learn about LGBTIQ communities or providing LGBTIQ inclusive services.
