Suicide is the leading cause of death in youth aged 15-24 in Australia - and it's 40 per cent higher in rural and regional communities. Live4Life wants to change this.
The organisation is offering adults in the Break O’Day area the chance to learn how to support young people's mental health through their award-winning model. The first licensed Mental Health First Aid Instructors in the area are Michele Reading, Tammy Fidler, Nicki Treloggen, and Morgan Grubb.
