On 28 June, we attended the TouchPoints training, delivered by RITO. The morning was full of vibrant conversation, personal stories and reflections, and opportunities to meet other people who want to be part of a greater movement for change.

The Collaborative invites you to join us for an exciting event dedicated to creating change in suicide prevention. We are seeking individuals who are committed to making a difference and invite you to be part of this movement.

TouchPoints is a short, easily accessible workshop for the general community to see how they may be a TouchPoint for someone experiencing difficulties relating to suicide and expands on the view that TouchPoints don't necessarily need to be found in the professional helping sector.

Last week, we were pleased to bring together almost 40 people from across FNQ for the third instalment in a series of events we refer to as ‘The Collaborative’, contributing to preventing and reducing the impact of suicide.

Up to $10,000 is available for community-led suicide prevention initiatives in Far North Queensland. Applications close 30 April 2023.

Our new website showcases both Far North Queensland suicide prevention projects in Cairns & Hinterland and Torres & Cape.
