This eLearning is the pre-requisite course for both QC2: EARS and its youth-specific counterpart QC28: YEARS. Originally developed to support continuity of learning during COVID-19 restrictions, this eLearning remains available as a standalone course to orient learners to core clinical competencies aligned with the ‘train’ element of the Zero Suicide framework.
QC56 serves as an introductory course for mental health, alcohol and other drug service providers, supporting foundational understanding of evidence-informed approaches to working with suicidality.
Developed in collaboration with the Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service, the QC2 EARS and QC28 YEARS courses represent a philosophical shift in the treatment of suicidality. This includes a move away from prediction-focused approaches toward prevention-oriented frameworks, and a shift from clinician-led models toward collaborative engagement and care planning. Suicide is conceptualised as a behaviour that requires specific, targeted intervention.
