Peer Group Facilitator Training – Expression of Interest

Throughout 2022 and 2024 LELAN is bringing the Alternatives to Suicide (Alt2Su) approach to South Australia.

They offer non-clinical spaces where people can be honest about their experiences without fear of forced treatment, other forms of coercion, or risk assessment that shuts conversation down.

Alternatives to Suicide Peer Group Facilitator Training is available to people aged over 18 in South Australia with a personal lived experience of suicide distress, who want to facilitate Alt2Su groups. Facilitators need to be willing to openly identify as such in the groups. Applicants will need to be ready, willing and able to commit to facilitating the groups once completing the training.

Whilst the project is being funded, Alt2Su facilitators are reimbursed as LELAN volunteers. To be a LELAN volunteer, you will need to have all appropriate police and/or working with children checks.

This session provides the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about what facilitating an Alt2Su group looks like and the support that LELAN can provide.
