Why attend?

CALM C-A-R-E is a 4-hour suicide prevention training course designed to help participants recognise the subtle warning signs that someone may be considering suicide and respond with confidence and care.

Participants will learn how to approach someone in distress, make a meaningful connection and know what to say, while building their confidence to support people experiencing a crisis. The workshop explores effective ways to ask about suicide, strategies to help someone see alternatives to suicide, and how to use the CALM C-A-R-E App to provide ongoing support. Participants will also gain a deeper understanding of burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and moral injury, and their impact on those working in helping roles.

The Better Beginnings Grants are open today - closing 26 September - does anyone have any amazing ideas for a project?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Better Beginnings Family Literacy Community Grants Program

The State Library's Better Beginnings program is a Western Australian family literacy initiative that connects families with books through free reading packs. Our goal is to inspire a love of reading and learning for all Western Australian children by encouraging families to read, talk, sing, write and play with their child every day.

The key aim of Better Beginnings is to support the development of literacy in children from birth; providing them with greater potential to grow, learn and develop, perform well at school, and succeed in later life. Improved literacy levels across Western Australia contribute to the creation of a skilled workforce and future economic development.

In March 2021, the State Government made an election commitment to support the equitable delivery of the Better Beginnings program across Western Australia. This commitment included the creation of a new grants program of $200,000 for four years.

The grants are for Western Australian community groups, centres and libraries that help promote literacy in 0-5 year olds. Any organisation with programs and ideas encouraging families to 'read, talk, sing, write and play with their child every day' is welcome to apply.

Micro Grants from $5,000 to $10,000 are available for small projects, and Innovation Grants from $10,001 to $30,000 are available for larger programs or initiatives. Public Libraries and community organisations are able to apply for both.

The final round of grants will be offered in September 2024. For more information email An online information session has been scheduled for Monday 26th August, 1.30-2.30pm to answer questions, provide support and share learnings from the previous rounds. Please click on the slwa.grants@slwa.wa.gov.au. link to register your attendance at the session.

The guidelines along with a list of successful grant recipients from each round can be downloaded below. Read on for some sample case studies from successful recipients.
