The Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) Suicide Prevention Project is a state-wide, two-year project supported by the Queensland Mental Health Commission and led by the Queensland Transcultural Mental Health Centre.
The project aimed to:
- develop and pilot a suicide prevention training course designed for non-clinical roles within human services
- build the capacity of human service workers to support CALD clients who may be at risk of suicide, and
- upskill media professionals working with CALD media outlets on how to report suicide safely in the media.
The project began in May 2019 and concluded in June 2021.
