SPCollaborative

The Illawarra Shoalhaven Suicide Prevention Collaborative was established in 2015 to tackle the region’s high rates of suicide through a collaborative approach.

[SPCollaborative @SPCollaborative]

The Collaborative has partnered with @illawarramerc to relaunch the #caretoQPR campaign. Over 6 weeks, we'll feature stories of Collaborative members with lived experience of suicide to build understanding of suicide, local supports & provide free QPR licenses to the Illawarra.

A heartfelt thank you to Ann for sharing her story to relaunch the #caretoQPR campaign in partnership with the @illawarramerc. Illawarra residents can access free online suicide awareness training - see link in article #WSPD2023
