Community Broadcasting Suicide Prevention Project - February 2023

Community Broadcasting Suicide Prevention Project - February 2023

The CBAA is pleased to welcome you to the February 2023 content of our national suicide prevention and mental health awareness project, developed with the support of the Australian Government Department of Health.

Each month, our project team develops a series of 20 short radio segments designed to promote help-seeking behaviour and positive lifestyle choices, using interviews with service providers, as well as profiles of people who have successfully dealt with tough times in their lives.

What's in this month's segments?

This month, we find out about the anonymous and free peer support and referral QLife provides for the LGBTIQ+ community around Australia.

We find out how PANDA is working with Australian perinatal healthcare providers to ensure all expecting and new parents have access to appropriate, effective perinatal mental health and wellbeing support.

ReachOut encourages you to get involved in Laps for Life in March to raise funds for, and awareness about, youth mental health and suicide.

We find out how business leaders, owners and employees can build an R U OK? culture in the workplace so that everyone feels safe, supported and encouraged. 

And we find out about 13YARN, a national service offering a confidential one-on-one over the phone yarning opportunity and support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are feeling overwhelmed or having difficulty coping.

For more information on this project, please contact the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia on (02) 9310 2999, or email: [email protected].
