Delivered by the OzHelp Tasmania Program, SALT is a two-hour suicide prevention training designed to increase suicide alertness in the workplace. The training explores those signs that a person may be experiencing suicidal thoughts and how to connect the person to support.

The program also acknowledges that while most people at risk of suicide signal their distress and display invitations for help, these may be overlooked due to a lack of understanding of the signs. Therefore, participants will learn to recognise when a person may have thoughts of suicide and respond in ways that will link the individual to further help.

Target Audience: Individual (all levels of employees)
Workshop Duration: 2 hours
Recommended Group Size: Min. 10 – Max. 20
