Melbourne is the place to be for World Suicide Prevention Day in 2008.
LIFE Communications is hosting ‘Putting LIFE Into Practice’, a free workshop in Melbourne the day before World Suicide Prevention Day for the National Suicide Prevention Strategy.
The workshop will be held on Tuesday 9 September at the Melbourne Convention Centre. This event for people who work to prevent suicide will look at how the newly revised Living Is For Everyone (LIFE) Framework can be applied to current suicide prevention initiatives, illustrated by case studies provided by project officers in national and community programs. The workshop includes an opportunity for delegates to share their current suicide prevention activities to examine what works and what can be improved.
Leaders and advocates in suicide prevention will provide valuable insights, including Professor Ian Webster AO and Kathryn Kennedy, from the Victorian Mental Illness Council. The day will also feature an open forum with a panel of experts.
Register now for this practical and informative suicide prevention national event.
If you’re coming to Melbourne for the From Margins to Mainstream conference (10 September – 12 September) then arrive a day earlier and join LIFE for World Suicide Prevention Day.
World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September 2008) is an annual event designated by the International Association for Suicide Prevention, in collaboration with the World Health Organisation.
