As a Lived Experience Peer Worker in Suicide Prevention in a regional area it is challenging to find the much-needed support for our community

With many of the services being prohibitive distances away as well as many having only single staff the opportunities to provide safe & supportive care in the postvention field is becoming increasingly difficult

Let's celebrate the human value of bringing Lived Experience in Suicide Prevention Support & talk about those challenges & golden moments that remind us every day that we are working side by side with real people, not numbers or case files

Let's talk about how we can do better in supporting those who need help during times of mental distress & how we can work in a collaborative fashion with existing local regional support services.
