Livingstone Living Well has a strategic mental health, wellbeing and suicide prevention focus. Our members include individuals and organisations that work, volunteer or are interested in supporting community development within the Livingstone Shire Local Government Area. As a network, LLW does NOT provide mental health or suicide intervention services, crisis support or personal support. Our activities are related to evidence-based best-practice training and resource sharing, along with building community connections to strengthen the capacity of the community to respond to people in distress. If you are interested in being part of strategic group like LLW, please ensure your own personal safety. Consider if the time is right for you to work constructively among people that may have different opinions and experiences of mental ill health, alcohol and other drugs, and suicide, or who may be from diverse personal and professional backgrounds. We encourage people to refer to the Roses in the Ocean's 'Are you Ready' resource prior to being actively involved if they have lived experience of suicide. Our membership process includes mentoring and encouraging training. Please phone Lifeline on 13 11 14 if you or someone you know is in crisis; or ring 000 in an emergency.
