The state government has announced $250 thousand in funding to enhance suicide prevention programs across NSW.
The money is to help charity Talk2meBro, which offers tailored mental health programs through workshops, keynote sessions, immersive experiences, and team-building activities.
The government says the organisation has offered retreats, and seminars in more than 700 schools, 15,000 workplaces, 17,000 sporting clubs, and other communities since 2018.
‘Early intervention saves lives,’ Minister for Mental Health Rose Jackson said via a government media release on Friday.
‘Programs like this are vital in breaking down stigma and shifting the conversation around mental health and suicide prevention,’ she said.
Talk2meBro representatives Jack Brown and Luke Conners said the money would be used for more community events, suicide prevention training and upskilling staff.
