To date, some 18,000 people have been trained in the internationally recognised ASIST, applied suicide intervention skills training, programme. In addition, over 3,300 participants have completed the SafeTalk training programme which prepares participants to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them with support services. I am conscious that last year saw the most suicides reported to date and we must ask ourselves if what we are doing is sufficient. Should we be supporting community health groups more or should we be more proactive in encouraging communities to look after themselves?
