Fantastic to announce the first dates for our Suicide Prevention Program safeTALK workshops.
The free community workshops delivered by qualified LivingWorks Australia trainers are aimed at Bendigo business but are open to any member of the community who feels they could benefit from building skills in identifying people at risk of suicide and learning how to start a conversation to get them help.
