Introduction
DORSET SUICIDE PREVENTION NETWORK (DSPN)
The DSPN is an open group of community members and health service providers interested in supporting the North East community in the area of mental health and suicide prevention. As a network we hope we can play a key role in coordination, collaboration and sharing of resources in our community. To find out more or to join the network please contact Cheryl at cheryl.mccartie@bigpond.com.
DORSET SUICIDE PREVENTION NETWORK COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN
You are invited to have your say in developing a plan for an inclusive and socially connected Dorset. The focus of the plan is to increase the amount of support our community receives by raising awareness and building community skills, connections and resilience to improve community mental health and wellbeing and prevent suicide in our community.
Your information will help us to plan activities relevant to you and your community. As a community led and inclusive group we hope to provide a mechanism for community feedback and advocacy to ensure different community needs are being addressed.
Relationships Australia Tasmania are assisting us to develop the Community Action Plan. This is a funded initiative of the Tasmanian Government to address the incidence of suicide, suicidal behaviour, and the impact this can have on Tasmanians. These plans are established around the specific needs of the community and are aligned with the Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Strategy (2016-2020).
