13.01.2022 A post from our CQ Field Officer Emma - A lack of knowledge creates fear. Seeking knowledge creates courage. Suicide Prevention, What stops us; for some the fear of not knowing the right question to ask, the fear of wondering what if I make it worse, or the fear of not knowing what to do if someone says - yes they are thinking of suicide. Thanks to 11 of the industries newest Courageous Connectors from Downer FKG Shoalwater Bay Training Area. Taking time to practice how to ...ask someone if they are thinking about suicide and how to connect them to help and support. Seeking knowledge. Practicing to be prepared. #matesinconstruction #centralqueensland #strongertogether #suicideprevention

09.01.2022 A Mateship Matters Connector plays an important role in making our sporting clubs suicide safer in sporting communities. If you're in the Moreton North Region and play sport and are 15 years and older come to the free info session - follow the link below to register your interest. A Connector is a MATE who can keep you safe while connecting you to help. A Connector is not a counsellor or any other kind of professional, they are simply a mate who knows how to help. Most peo...ple participating in Connector training have naturally been in the role without even knowing it. The Connector training provides some extra skills for people to ask about suicide and then facilitate the link to help. The role of a Connector is to connect people who are struggling to a suicide first aid resource. Connector training takes approx. 4 hours. Connectors are trained in the following: What is a Connector’s role? What is not a Connector’s role? How to be alert to the signs of suicide. How to ask about suicide. How to connect a person to help. How to look after yourself as a Connector. A Mateship Matters Connector plays an important role in making our sporting clubs suicide safer sporting communities. https://events.humanitix.com/mateship-matters-connector-may See more
