Community Broadcasting Suicide Prevention Project - January 2016
Welcome to the January 2016 content of the CBAA's national suicide prevention and mental health awareness project, developed with the support of the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
Each month, our project team develops a series of 20 short radio segments for use by community radio stations. They're 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:
- Catch up with Luke Martin from beyondblue, and ask him what Dads can do if they’re struggling with their role as a new father.
- Find out about the information Children of Parents with a Mental Illness (COPMI) provides for family members across Australia where a parent has a mental illness, and for people who care for and work with them.
- Learn about the support and information the SANE Help Centre provides to help people with mental illness, their families and carers live better lives.
- Chat to Mates in Construction about the work they’re doing to deliver better mental health and wellbeing outcomes for workers in the building and construction industry.
- Speak with new Lifeline CEO Pete Shmigel about the support they can provide to people around Australia who are going through a tough time.
