Suicide — The Latest

I am Not Atlas

The City of Launceston Council is hosting two mental health workshops.

They are sold out.

The council facilitates a suicide prevention program and employs a suicide prevention coordinator, Stephanie Armour.

Sadly, and particularly for North-East Tasmania, the statistics do not lie and the rationale for Ms. Armour's appointment is tragically obvious.
