Funding support for suicide prevention

Over 10,000 volunteers will be trained in suicide prevention to support high-risk populations, industries and communities across NSW.

$2.8 million will be invested by the NSW government in training over the next three years under the initiative, “Towards Zero Suicides”.

Volunteers will learn how to recognise the signs if someone is at risk of suicide and will be trained to support:

* construction workers

* first responders

* indigenous communities

* family lawyers

* men aged between 18 and 35 years

* veterinarians

* LGBTIQ communities
