Join us on Larrakia Country in Darwin for the 2025 World Suicide Prevention Day Forum: a full-day gathering of local and national speakers, lived experience advocates, service providers, allied health professionals and community leaders dedicated to reducing the impact of suicide and supporting survivors of suicide loss in our community.
The program features keynote presentations, Q&A panel discussions, an interactive workshop and networking opportunities designed to spark connection, share knowledge, and inspire action to Change the Narrative and encourage more people to Reach Out without the shame.
