SAFESIDE CARE

Learn Suicide Prevention Skills Together

Whether as a future human services professional, alumni, academic, or teacher, you’ll meet people facing distress, loss, and sometimes thoughts of suicide. The SafeSide CARE workshop helps you recognise when someone may be at risk and respond with empathy, structure, and hope. But it’s not just about learning about. It’s an opportunity to come together in person with others in your community, building real connections and shared understanding.
