Trainings for the Community
OCS delivers all our core suicide intervention skills courses, SafeTALK, ASIST and ASIST Tune Up upon request from organisations in any sector. OCS is committed to building our community’s capacity to respond appropriately to people at risk of suicide, and our suite of core trainings is a highly effective medium for achieving this.
Other Tailored Training Services
OCS has a range of trainings available for your organisation to choose from. These courses can range from one to two hour suicide awareness and prevention information sessions, to half and full days of training, which include topics such as mental health at work, resilience and assertiveness, workplace bullying, conflict resolution and healthy living. We also have the capacity to adapt training to suit any specific needs your organisation may have.
