‘Connect, Communicate, Care’ is the theme of 2016 World Suicide Prevention Day; a day aimed at raising awareness about suicide and how we can all play a part in helping those in need and who are vulnerable to suicide.

The Toowoomba Suicide Prevention Network is a local not-for-profit organisation committed to promoting increased awareness about the problem of suicide in Toowoomba, which sadly remains highly represented in the annual number of deaths by suicide in Australia each year.

To mark World Suicide Prevention Day the organisation is hosting a Suicide Network Event on Friday 9^th September at the City Gold Club from 5.30pm to 8.30pm.

This free event is open to all members of the community who have been impacted by or exposed to suicide and those who would like to be part of the conversation. Hear from people with lived experience and have the opportunity to speak with local service providers and support groups. Light refreshments will be served.

Toowoomba Suicide Prevention Community Event is proudly supported by Lifeline Darling Downs and South West Qld Ltd, Toowoomba Regional Council, Anglicare Southern Queensland, Queensland Health and Toowoomba Mental Health Professional Network.
