Suicide Prevention: Community Workshop - City of Whittlesea

The loss of a life to suicide is a tragedy and has a lasting impact on individuals, families, communities and the nation.

Suicide can be prevented. Eastern Melbourne PHN (EMPHN) invites you to attend the first in a series of workshops that aim to gather people together who can contribute to the conversation and solutions. We want your help to develop a regional approach to suicide prevention in the City of Whittlesea. The outcomes of these events will inform a Suicide Prevention Action Plan.

The Community workshop is for people from community groups, associations, sporting clubs, business, health, education, consumers and carers.

The Lived Experience workshop is for people who have lived experience of suicide. We define lived experience as “…having experienced suicidal thoughts, survived a suicide attempt, cared for someone who has been suicidal, or been bereaved by suicide.”

Workshops are free.

Light supper will be provided.
