Last Thursday, the Tasmanian Su***de Prevention Community Network (TSPCN) came together in Salamanca Square and at Parliament House to mark World Su***de Prevention Day.

We were joined by SPEAK UP Stay ChatTY, LEx Training Hub, Lifeline Tasmania, Mental Health Council of Tasmania, Relationships Australia Tasmania and Albie House to connect with the community, share information and raise awareness of su***de prevention.

A special part of the day was acknowledging the journey of our Messages of Hope book, which has travelled around Tasmania over the past 12 months, collecting messages of hope, strength and connection for those experiencing a difficult time.

At Parliament House, The Hon Bridget Archer MP presented the book to Peacock Centre staff, with community members, lived experience advocates, the Messages of Hope Working Group, organisations and politicians coming together to mark this special moment. We’re proud that the book will now have its forever home at the Peacock Centre, where its messages of hope, strength and connection can continue to reach those who may find them helpful.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the Messages of Hope book, and to everyone who helped make its journey across Tasmania possible.
