Centre for Suicide Prevention has partnered with CSV Midstream Solutions Corp. to implement a new suicide prevention program for on-site workers involved in the construction of CSV’s Albright Gas Processing Plant. Buddy Up Skills Training equips workers to skillfully respond to co-workers who are struggling with their mental health or may be considering suicide.
Through Buddy Up, all on-site workers will receive basic suicide prevention training and are invited and encouraged to pursue more comprehensive training in the form of half day and 2-day workshops. CSV hopes the program will contribute to reducing stigma associated with mental health, both in Alberta’s Oil and Gas industry and its broader community.
Contact Akash Asif, Centre for Suicide Prevention’s Operations and Strategy Director, if you’re interested in implementing the training in your workplace: [email protected].
