Services Information
Goldfields Region of Western Australia
Another one of our community funding grant recipients is Mates 4 Mates Goldfields. A volunteer organisation operating on the Esperence WA region, Mates 4 Mates Goldfields works to get information about depression and suicide prevention out into the community across the region to help break down negative stigma, give people more information about mental health, and steer people in the right direction to get help. They also run the Living Works Safe TALK workshops to equip people with more knowledge about face to face suicide prevention.
The funding we provided has gone to produce and distribute information (as shown) on various services available in the local area. This one shown is just one of four different versions tailored to different geographical areas including Esperance, Kalgoorlie, Leonora and Norseman. These will be in the form of fridge magnets, making them a great practical resource for people.
We look forward to hearing more from Mates 4 Mates. It sounds like they're doing some really good practical work aimed at suicide prevention in the community.
