24.01.2022 The LivingWorks Australia team had a virtual Scavenger Hunt this year with LWA making a donation to the winner's charity of choice. We had dress-ups, self care challenges, acts of kindness, fun with our furry friends, declarations of love, Covid compliant pics with Santa's-of-sorts and more. Congrats to our Training Managers, Robyn & Lorna, who took things next-level and were joint winners. (They are putting their heads together as to their chosen charity).... Robyn and Lorna may have bragging rights in 2021 but the competition will be out to get 'em! Great work team!

16.01.2022 How do you look after your mental health as a suicide first aider? Today is World Mental Health Day and this year’s message look after your mental health Australia - is simple in theory but sometimes difficult in practice, particularly given the challenging year we have had. We asked some of the LivingWorks family how they look after their mental health, or what they would like to do to take care of themselves. ... Here’s what they had to say. Let us know what fills your cup up in the comments below #LookAfterYourMentalHealthAustralia #WMHD #MentalHealthPromise

16.01.2022 We're proud to have worked with so many different industries this year who are going beyond mental health literacy to embedding suicide first aid skills in their workforce, just like physical first aid. We have a long way to go but it's good to see competency standards for workplace mental health and suicide prevention training being prioritised at a national and local level.

15.01.2022 A big shout out to everyone who just finished our latest two-day Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) workshop. They are now equipped to recogni...se when someone may be at risk of suicide and how to keep them safe. The more people who are MATES trained means more lives can be saved. Thank you to everyone who joined us and actively took part in the training! #strongertogether #matessa #matesinconstruction #suicideprevention

09.01.2022 We're so grateful for every person we have worked with this year - from amazing LivingWorks Trainers who've kept each others' spirits up throughout restrictions and supporting each other to safely get back to in person training when possible - to every one one of our colleagues and friends who have had to fight to survive financially, physically or emotionally at some point throughout 2020. Through it all, we've been inspired by your resilience, commitment and heart. Thank you.

Learn suicide first aid, so you can feel confident in what to do if the conversation turns to suicide at home, work or online. 90 minutes of your time could save a life www.livingworks.com.au/programs/livingworks-start/ #skillssavelives

We went looking for the best pos...sible skills training for Suicide Intervention Training and found it in the ASIST Training. Attending the 2-day training is incredibly powerful and practical, and you come away with the confidence to help someone in a time of need.

01.01.2022 LivingWorks was delighted to support the Workplace Mental Health and Wellbeing Seminar, and the First Responder Mental Health and Wellbeing Seminar in Sydney this week. Our Director of Suicide Prevention, Marc Bryant (aka Bryzey), presented on the importance of an evidence-based approach for suicide intervention. Seminar-goers largely joined via Zoom but it was nice to connect with people in person again, whilst adhering to physical distancing and other safety measures.... A really valuable two days with some insightful speakers and topics covered. Well done to all involved!
