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.

Recently, our participants enjoyed a day out at Stuart’s Well, getting up close with some of the Territory’s famous emus and camels. 🐪☀️

Days like these are about much more than the activity itself. They’re opportunities to build friendships, grow confidence, develop everyday skills and feel more connected to the community.

And with blue skies, plenty of smiles and some curious local characters, it was a great day all round!
