Lethal Means safety conversations are a proven strategy for the prevention of suicide and self-harm.
This course includes online course activities, readings and quizzes. It supports the implementation of the Towards Zero Suicide Healthcare initiative and specifically the design of the Suicide Prevention Pathway. There are three modules and each module will require around 1 hour to complete.
This course acknowledges the sample scenarios may not meet the needs of all people who present to your health service. It is essential that any worker undertaking lethal means safety counselling does so from a person-centred perspective, being mindful of culture, faith and a person’s lived or living experience.
