LGBTIQA+ Suicide Prevention Training (No Cost Workshop)

LGBTIQA+ Suicide Prevention Training – IDAHOBIT 2026
In recognition of IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia), Mind-Ed is partnering with Living Proud and St John of God Social Outreach to deliver a suicide prevention training focused on supporting LGBTIQA+ communities.
LGBTIQA+ individuals continue to experience higher rates of psychological distress and suicidal thoughts due to stigma, discrimination, and exclusion. This workshop is designed to strengthen understanding, build confidence, and equip participants with practical skills to support others in a safe, informed, and inclusive way.
Participants will gain:
Increased awareness of suicide prevention from an LGBTIQA+ perspective
Skills to recognise when someone may be struggling
Confidence to respond supportively and appropriately
Knowledge of how to connect people with the right supports
This training is open to community members, allies, volunteers, and professionals who want to play a role in creating safer, more inclusive communities.
Together, we can strengthen connection, reduce stigma, and make support easier to find.
Location: Shire of Augusta Margaret River WA
