Lived experience informed suicide literacy

Lived Experience Informed Suicide Literacy training provides critical insight into suicide through the lens of those who have experienced it, introducing participants to a lived experience informed approach to suicide and the role they can play in suicide prevention.

It will educate and empower those seeking to integrate lived experience of suicide perspectives throughout an organisation to appreciate an intersectional lens and the broad perspectives of lived experience of suicide, and to be part of creating a workplace where lived experience insights are valued and embedded. The workshop is also a foundational entry point for organisations embarking on the culture change needed to move towards a whole of society approach to suicide prevention.

On completion of this workshop, you can expect to be able to:

  • Understand what a lived experience of suicide is
  • Explore the power of language in the context of suicide
  • Differentiate a lived experience of suicide from a lived experience of mental illness
  • Recognise Lived Experience of Suicide Engagement Principles
  • Appreciate the broad perspectives of lived experiences of suicide
  • Recognise opportunity to promote lived experience integration in workplace
  • Demonstrate self care
