Would you know what to do if someone you support was experiencing thoughts of suicide?
Anglicare’s Suicide Prevention for Seniors Program equips those who support older people with the knowledge to help prevent suicide.
The free program offered nationally and includes a general suicide prevention gatekeeper training followed by a workshop contextualising the training for older people. The two parts should only take a total of 3 hours to complete. The program is funded by the NSW and Australian governments. To be eligible, you need to be working with older people and have internet access.
This program is suited to aged care workers, retirement living staff, pharmacists, geriatricians, GP practice staff (clinical and non-clinical) and anyone who works closely with older people. This program assumes no prior knowledge in mental health or suicide prevention.
If you are interested, please email Anglicare at suicide.prevention@anglicare.org.au or visit the Anglicare website.

Frailty is a common syndrome which occurs due to a combination of de-conditioning and acute illness on a background of existing functional decline that is often under recognised. Frailty is more common in females and the risk of frailty increases with age.
The Department of Health and Aged Care has prioritised early intervention initiatives to support healthy ageing and ongoing management of chronic conditions and enable senior Australians to live longer in the community.
The PHN is launching an early intervention pilot program to identify older people who are pre-frail and frail.
