1-DAY Calm Yarn Suicide Intervention Skills

CALM YARN is a culturally appropriate, one-day Australian training program designed to equip participants with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to have CALM conversations about suicide. Delivered by an Indigenous facilitator, this program reduces stigma, promotes help-seeking, and connects individuals to culturally appropriate supports. Developed in partnership with an Indigenous Elder, CALM YARN teaches four key actions to guide someone from thoughts of suicide to safety.

• The CALM model to guide you through the four stages of intervention.
• A 24-page workbook with tools, skills, and a list of national helplines and websites.
• The “Be Safe” app or worksheet for safety planning.
• Reading materials for further learning and development.
• A printed certificate of attendance.
