Corporate and community training. We can host or come to you.
Did you know all our training has been endorsed by the NSW Education Standards Authority?
All workshops and presentations in Lifeline Direct's skills-for-life training portfolio contribute course-specific hours under the NSW Educations Standard Authority (NESA) Registered Professional Development, addressing 4.4.2 and 6.2.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW.
Lifeline's Corporate and Community Training - Skills-for-Life
Corporate branding research has established that Lifeline has a 97% brand recognition, much of which has been earned from the 24/7 Lifeline Telephone Crisis Support Service 131114, and our recycle shops. Another strong component of Lifeline's place in the Australian community is specialised training, not only the training course to join our crisis telephone support service, but also the suite of skills-for-life-training programs.
Our agency’s twin missions of providing skills in crisis support and suicide prevention, alongside strategies to care-for-carers, are woven into our highly complementary range of deliverables. Being skilled to acutely and astutely listen to someone (ACCIDENTAL COUNSELLOR FOUNDATIONS) may enable a frontline worker or caregiver to better recognise domestic violence (DV-ALERT, DV-AWARE), a mental health problem (MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID), or risk of suicide (safeTALK, MIND YOUR MATES, ASIST), all the while being mindful of self-care (CREATIVE THERAPY TOOLS, mindfulness @ work). That is the reason this range of training is dubbed skills-for-life.
Unlike other training, this type of participation keeps on giving well after completion of the workshop.
As one participant told us, “I have been to everything you have to offer. Can’t get enough of what you do".

MIND YOUR MATES PROGRAM
Suicide is now the leading cause of death for Australian men aged 15-44. Mind Your Mates is a 1-hour presentation to bring awareness around mental health issues and the recognisable signs that suicide might be on someone’s mind. We need to know, we need to be real and open to someone being able to voice emotions around mental health issues. Not just men, of course, but especially men.

safeTALK
LivingWorks safeTALK is a half-day presentation to increase suicide awareness. This program acknowledges that while most people at risk of suicide signal their distress and invite help, these intervention opportunities are often overlooked. safeTALK participants learn to recognise when someone may have thoughts of suicide and to respond in ways that link them with further suicide intervention help.
