SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - The ASK Workshop: Assessing Suicide in Kids | Online over two days
DESCRIPTION:The next ASK workshop is taking place on the 21 – 22 May \n\n\n\n\n\nChildren experience the world differently from adults—and that includes how they show distress or think about suicide. \n\n\n\nApproaches designed for adults don’t always work for young children\, which is why the ASK Workshop: Assessing Suicide in Kids is so important.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis online workshop is for professionals working with children and young people aged 5-14 years old. The ASK Workshop is completed across two days plus reading completed prior to the live workshop. \n\n\n\nThe ASK Workshop challenges commonly held notions about children’s capacity to consider suicide. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2022\, suicide was the second leading cause of child death in Australian children aged 5 -17 years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants learn \n\n\n\n\nHow to talk about death with children\n\n\n\nHow to talk about suicide with children\n\n\n\nDevelopmentally appropriate strategies and tools to identify young children at risk of suicide \n\n\n\nHow to quickly gather and organise details needed to assess risk\n\n\n\nHow to explore and consider protective factors to inform safety planning\n\n\n\nTo consider common challenges when working with parents and possible solutions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportant Course Information \n\n\n\nPre-Workshop reading is required to be completed prior to the workshop to be permitted access to the live stream. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-reading is via online modules\, no later than the 19th April to access the course that starts 28th April at 8:30 am.Your live stream link and pre-reading will be emailed to you in the days prior to the training.The live stream will go from 8:30am to 1:30pm Tuesday 28th April  and 8:30am to 1:30pm Wednesday 29 April 2026. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Structure \n\n\n\nParticipants learn using case studies\, guided simulations\, discussion and practice using an assessment tool. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing the course \n\n\n\nParticipants will have an increased understanding and alertness to the fact that children can be at risk of suicide. They will know what risk factors to look out for and feel confident approaching the subject of death and suicide with a child. Participants receive a risk assessment tool\, a quick reference tool and a certificate. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse length: 9 hours – delivered across two live streams over two consecutive days (4.5 hours per day)plus 1-2 hours of self-paced pre-workshop reading \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants receive \n\n\n\n\nA risk assessment tool\n\n\n\nA quick reference tool\n\n\n\nA certificate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMind-Ed members – contact workshops@mind-ed.org.au for your discount code. \n\n\n\nNeed support to attend?  \n\n\n\nAsk about community scholarships to waive course fees.  \n\n\n\nContact workshops@mind-ed.org.au \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this event via the QR code or by following this link.
