Frequently Asked Questions

Care · Collaborate · Connect is the world’s-first approach to suicide prevention that focuses on the needs of the person being helped. Only by meeting the needs of people you are helping, can you actually be helpful, and prevent overwhelming distress, mental illness, and suicide.

Care · Collaborate · Connect normalises distress and coping.  It teaches you how to support other people, without assuming they have a mental illness or worse trying to diagnose them.  It helps you create a coping environment around you where people are cared about, supported, and connected with professional help if needed.

Care · Collaborate · Connect training programs are self-directed online programs.  You have access to the program 24 hours a day, so you can complete them at your own pace and at times that suit you.

Care Collaborate Connect provides in-person workshops and consultancy services that support organisations fine-tune policies, procedures and practices to promote a culture of care and coping.

You have access to your online course for six months from the date you enrol, so you can go back into it at any time during this period to fine-tune your knowledge and skills.

People who are accessing training through an organisation licence can access the training at any time during the licence period.
