Eastern Melbourne PHN is a Primary Health Network funded by the Australian Government to improve the care and support people receive from health services. We work in partnership to improve the way services are connected and to ensure they are easy to access when people need them most. We work closely with health professionals, consumers and carers to scope the gaps, identify emerging community needs and purchase services that address these needs. We invest in a range of initiatives to make a difference in our priority areas including chronic disease, mental health, alcohol and other drugs, digital health, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, immunisation and general practice support. We aim to improve the health of our community by ensuring people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time. Our community of 1.6 million people live in Melbourne’s east and north east, from the inner-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, to the Yarra Valley in the east, and semi-rural communities as far north as Kinglake. www.emphn.org.au

Suicide is not isolated. Suicide does not discriminate. Even if you have not had direct lived experience of suicide, there are people you know who have, and there are avenues for you to take to make a difference.

Suicide affects a community, and it takes a community to help prevent suicide.

It Takes a Community is a year-long program that invites people who have lived experience of suicide, peer workers, or people interested in peer work and community service organisations within the Eastern Melbourne PHN area to participate in diverse ways.
