Description

The Wesley LifeForce Community Suicide Prevention Networks (also known as Life Networks) work with local communities around Australia to bring together community services, professionals and individuals with an interest in suicide prevention. The Networks allow the coordination of community activity to address the issue of suicide in a way that is tailored to local situations and local needs.

There are 21 Networks nationally. Those that particularly focus on suicide prevention in Indigenous communities include the:

• Darwin Region Indigenous Suicide Prevention Network (NT)
• Top End Suicide Prevention Network (NT)
• Galupa Marngarr Suicide Prevention Group (NT)
• Life Networks Wambool Aboriginal Team (NSW).

The Networks form one component of Wesley LifeForce, a suicide prevention program managed by Wesley Mission.
