Community Broadcasting Suicide Prevention Project - February 2016
Welcome to the February 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 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 R U OK? Campaign Director Rebecca Lewis to find out how we can reach out to those around us and support them through difficult times.
- We find out about a series of audio stories featuring high-profile young Australian actors that have been developed to help young people deal with social and mental health issues.
- We learn about the What Were We Thinking! blog and app developed by Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, which helps parents deal with the physical and emotional challenges that come with being a first-time parent.
- And we hear about the information, help and support beyondblue provides to help people deal with depression or anxiety.
For more information on this project, please contact the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia on (02) 9310 2999, or email.
