About us

Our vision

The Alliance strives to create a connected community to improve mental health and resiliency to suicidality and its precursors for the Sunshine Coast.

Our mission

It aims to provide an integrated network of community-based groups and organisations who are passionate about the prevention of suicide.

I encourage people to talk and open up, friends, family are willing to listen. The more people on board for the Alliance the better. It’s essential that everyone works together as a community.

All of the work by the Alliance is underpinned by contemporary research. How do we then build our programs so that we are actually building a really healthy Sunshine Coast community.
