What We can Offer
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the highest quality service possible to work with and train practitioners likely to encounter clients experiencing suicidal ideation, suicidal behaviour or bereavement of suicide. We also strive to equip workplaces to effectively respond to the critical needs of their workforce, while fostering an environment that delivers meaning, connection, and hope.
Our Vision
We seek to develop and maintain strong collaborative relationships and approaches with caring professionals across the country. These professionals work across a broad range of disciplines and situational contexts. In everything we do, our goal is to ensure that our training, supervision and support is tailored to, and responsive to, the identified needs of individuals, their organisations, and the community or population they serve.
