safeTALK is a half-day presentation to increase suicide alertness. This program alerts community members to signs that a person may be considering suicide. It acknowledges that while most people at risk of suicide signal their distress and invite help, these intervention opportunities are often overlooked. Participants learn to recognise when someone may have thoughts of suicide and to respond in ways that link them with further suicide intervention help. Suicide alert helpers contribute to a suicide safer community.

The Rotary Club of Gladstone Port Curtis founded “Project We Care” 8 years ago. The club is extremely proud of this initiative which has gained awards, including international recognition from Rotary International for this project.
