The Wire

Aboriginal health workers behind programs targeting suicide prevention warn more needs to be done to ensure the money reaches culturally appropriate grassroots programs already working to prevent suicide in Aboriginal communities.

Last week on the Wire, we looked at the outcome of the first meeting of the Aboriginal Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Advisory Group. In our continuing coverage on the issue, Biwa Kwan looks at a community-led project that has been running for several years in the Northern Territory and what lessons could be applied from that to this national strategy. If you or someone you know needs help call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
