Our Primary Prevention Training team at SASS delivers a range of training programs and workshops, for children, teenagers and adults. These include programs tailored for workplaces, social and sporting clubs, entertainment venues and organisers, schools, colleges, university and various other settings. The content and duration of our workshops is designed to meet the identified needs of the audience.

Professional development workshops
- specialised content tailored to organisation or industry groups, including the community sector
- designed to empower participants with skills they need to minimise harm and assist others in trauma recovery
- fee-for-service workshops, which can be delivered on-site at any location in Tasmania.

Other training and professional development
When opportunities arise we offer collaborative workshops with other relevant organisations. In 2020, we presented three webinars as part of Daniel Morcombe Foundation's Changing Futures program. The webinars we presented include Identifying and Responding to Harmful Sexual Behaviour, Safety Planning with Harmful Sexual Behaviours, and Dealing with Disclosures of Abuse.
We have a vast and varied range of experiences among our professional training team members. In 2020 we were proud to have one of our facilitators deliver a TED talk on listening to your body's signals.
