Life in Mind is excited to announce the launch of the #YouCanTalk campaign, a landmark joint national suicide prevention initiative which was unveiled today at Parliament House, Canberra.

The suicide prevention and mental health sectors are invited to participate in the Life in Mind evaluation survey.

Life in Mind are pleased to share the official launch of Suicide Prevention Australia’s Suicide Prevention Hub: Best Practice Programs and Services. The Suicide Prevention Hub will host best practice suicide prevention programs and services that have been evaluated for quality and safety in Australia against a set of program criteria developed by Suicide Prevention Australia and independently assessed by expert reviewers.

In its eighth year, the IASP Conference will bring together researchers, practitioners, professionals, students, and those within the community impacted by suicide to share knowledge, skills, research and good practices in preventing suicide.

LifeSpan is a new evidence-based approach to suicide prevention. Developed by the Black Dog Institute, scientific modelling predicts this approach could prevent 21% of suicide deaths, and 30% of suicide attempts.

Life in Mind connects suicide prevention organisations, research, services, programs and community groups. It is important to share our work and knowledge in suicide prevention as a part of a unified approach to suicide prevention in Australia.

Life in Mind is an important step in suicide prevention for Australia. For the sector, Life in Mind presents an opportunity to expand and build on our knowledge in suicide prevention and mental health.

The strength of Life in Mind lies in its inclusion of our key stakeholders and the suicide prevention sector to connect organisations, programs, researchers and professionals working in suicide prevention in Australia to the latest information, activities, resources and research.
