 Suicide Prevention

FREE event for parents & their teens - 10 September (2 - 4pm)

It's no secret that suicide is one of the largest preventable causes of death for young people. It is also no secret that most young people will know of someone who has died by suicide. South Eastern Suicide Prevention Network would like to support families to start and keep having conversations around suicide prevention. It is hard enough to start any conversations during adolescence, let alone on topics this hard. Facilitated by two experienced professionals in Suicide Prevention and mental health, parents and their teens will have the opportunity to learn and share with like aged peers.
