SUICIDE: It’s time we talked

• 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.
