Suicide Prevention Strategy Gets Funding

Gay and Lesbian Community Services WA has received a three-month contract to consult the LGBT community for the One Life suicide prevention strategy.

GLCS has signed the contract and will be working to create a comprehensive community action plan which will then go before the Ministerial Council for Suicide Prevention for approval.

Consultations will start in January and community members are invited to have their say on initiatives and activities that would benefit the community. GLCS Chairperson Nadine Toussaint said she was looking forward to working with the community on this initiative.

‘This is a much needed and fantastic opportunity for raising awareness and building the capacity of our community around suicide prevention and mental health,’ Toussaint said.

‘We are hopeful that there will be some very positive outcomes and long term benefits for the community as a result of this project.’

GLCS has been working in collaboration with the WA AIDS Council’s Freedom Centre to secure this funding since February 2010.
