LifeConnect at Neami National

At LifeConnect, our mission is to act with compassion in support of those who have been impacted by suicide and to build capacity and understanding for all to play their part in preventing it.

We aim to connect people to a sense of purpose and meaning, and collaborate with communities in strengthening our shared response to suicide.

LifeConnect provides:

LifeSkills workshops - Resilience and wellbeing each play an important part in early suicide prevention. Our LifeSkills workshops have been developed for people in our community to learn about the impacts of stress, respond to emotions and explore gratitude. We share practical tools to move through and grow from all of life’s experiences.

Reach Out and Connect Suicide Prevention training - Neami LifeConnect provides free suicide prevention training to increase the confidence and skills of participants to recognise and respond to the risk of suicide in their communities and workplaces.

Our team supports the workforce and community groups to enhance their confidence in having conversations about mental health and suicide and building an awareness of where to find help and how to link people to support.

Our content is based on the latest research in suicide prevention. It is also informed, co-designed and delivered by people with a direct lived experience of the impacts of suicide and suicidality.

All LifeConnect services are free and available to anyone who resides, works or studies in Banyule, Boroondara, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Mitchell, Monash, Murrindindi, Nillumbik, Whitehorse, Whittlesea and Yarra Ranges.
