• We will present a “45-minute HealthPlay” fact-checked by headspace and Mental Health Victoria: experiential learning is a powerful tool.
• We will present a 30-minute Q&A using evidence base of Positive Psychology and neuroscience: this learning session will enhance mental wellbeing and resilience.
• We will provide a "need-to-know" 36-page resource with information sourced from credible experts and first-person interviews (a mix of theory and personal) – from Parenting Guides Ltd, the partner organisation and organising body.
• Collaborating with “best practice” and “like-minded" people and foundations to pool resources and eliminate duplication: youth suicide is a difficult subject confronting all communities.
• Target parents, carers, educators and health professionals working with teenagers: we want parents - especially - to take "ownership through education".
• Delivered in a safe environment, i.e. community libraries/theatres/schools: up to 120 people at a time.
• Delivered in an art form that has "light and shade": understanding the impact of mental health on families is not to be underestimated.
• Backed up with a hard copy 36-page educational resource: not a pdf.

Absolutely wonderful initiative and crucial to face growing
issue across our entire society that touches us all,.
Congratulations and profound thanks to founder Eileen Berry for her service to us all on this.
Great project with meaning and impact. Congratulations to Ms Berry.
This is a topic we need to talk about. Full credit to Ms Berry for taking this initiative
An extremely important subject to talk about and actively support.
So important especially at this time of the terrible draught
Please support this important initiative. If it wasn't for the hard work of those in our community who care enough for others and to give a sense of community that can help protect against self harm.
An important and timely project!
