Radio interviews

The Community Broadcasting Association (CBAA) is developing a new national suicide prevention and mental health awareness project which will provide help-seeking and well-being messages to a wide and diverse network of communities nationally, reaching a large number of Indigenous, rural and remote, and culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

This project will utilise both satellite and local radio broadcasting to provide 24 hour a day national delivery of suicide, mental health and well-being messages through over 250 radio stations nationwide.

The project will also utilise community engagement in communities around Australia and the distribution of a monthly magazine and audio CD to promote suicide prevention, help-seeking behaviours and well-being to a large national audience.

Relationships Australia (SA) is proud to be associated with this project to promote help-seeking behaviour and positive lifestyle choices.
