We’re developing a new way of working to measure risk behaviours in substance use treatment within a harm reduction framework (the Substance Use Sex Index [SUSI]) .
If you are an Australian resident aged 18 years or please click here to complete a brief online questionnaire on sex and drug-taking.
We require 400 people to take the questionnaire and 100 of these people to retake it after 3-5 days with a $20 grocery voucher incentive for doing so.
There is a lot of information about the study on the website (susi.org.au) but please ask me if there is anything else you’d like to know! I’ve attached a facebook post to give you an idea.
Lifeline South Coast is pleased to be offering a two-day ASIST suicide intervention training course in Wollongong on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th September 2018.
Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) is the world’s leading suicide intervention workshop. In ASIST, participants learn to apply a suicide intervention model. It helps caregivers recognise when someone may be at risk of suicide; explores how to connect with them to clarify that risk and increase their immediate safety; and link the person with further help. Virtually anyone aged 16 or older, regardless of prior experience or training, can become an ASIST-trained caregiver and learn the skills to intervene and save a life from suicide.
