Suicide Prevention and Postvention Services
Suicide prevention involves a coordinated set of strategies aimed at reducing risk and promoting safety across individuals, families, communities, and systems. It requires a whole-of-community approach — addressing protective factors, reducing stigma, and improving access to timely and appropriate support.
We recognise that suicide has far-reaching impacts. Postvention — the support provided after a suicide — is a vital part of the response, helping individuals and communities navigate grief, trauma, and recovery.
Our commissioned services reflect this systems approach, offering support across the continuum of prevention, intervention, and postvention. Explore the services below to learn more about what’s available in Brisbane South.
