safeTALK Suicide Alertness For Everyone

 Suicide is mostly preventable.  Most people with thoughts of suicide want help to live and a small gesture of support can be life saving.  The skills taught in safeTALK are designed to give participants a short, clear process that anyone over the age of 15 can follow to become a suicide alert helper in their community.

Next session will be on the 23rd May 2012 (Free to parents of school aged children).

Contact Lifeline Central Australia on 0889531250 for further details.

Stress Down Day

Stress Down day is an annual event. This day is dedicated to reducing the burden of stress on our community, and will encourage people in schools and workplaces to have fun with their fellows, friends or family to reduce stress levels, have fun and raise funds for Lifeline. The money will go towards helping run our 24 hour telephone support services, a service that is literally life saving for thousands of Australian’s every year.

What do we do on Stress Down Day?

You simply get sponsored to wear your slippers to work or school, dress up or dress down and have a bit of fun to show that you support Lifeline and its life saving work.

Or alternatively, other ways to show support could be:

1. Purchasing Exclusive Stress Down Day Slippers
2. Developing your own event (where slippers or a change in clothes are impractical/against OH&S)

The campaign will also provide participants and organisations with useful tools to manage stress in our everyday lives. For more information visit
