Creating fresh and interconnected approaches to suicide prevention.
We support suicide prevention action across Far North Queensland
Life Promotion and Suicide Prevention Collaborative FNQ is grounded in and promotes First Nations’ ways of knowing, being and doing - where culture holds the width and breadth of human existence and experiences. The Collaborative re-imagines a future where the cultural wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities hold and guide all stories of healing and change.
