Suicide Prevention Forum A Success

A diverse group of more than 70 people have come together for the Central Australian Suicide Prevention Forum at the Desert Knowledge Precinct in May 2023. The forum has a focus on keeping the conversation happening in our community about preventing suicide and showcasing successful suicide prevention and postvention initiatives.

A special thankyou to all of our presenters including 13 Yarn, Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory, MATES in Construction QLD & NT, Central Australian Aboriginal Congress, National Wellbeing Alliance, Northern Territory PHN, MacDonnell Regional Council, Royal Flying Doctor Service SA/NT, Multicultural Community Services of Central Australia, Mental Health Services Central Australia Region, Teddy McDiarmid and Kylie Buzzacott, Alison Cunnynghame, and Code 4 Life at Desert Knowledge Australia

The forum was organised by the Mental Health Association Central Australia, and supported by the Northern Territory Government and Desert Knowledge Australia
