This suicide prevention project targets Indigenous men in the remote communities of Titjikala, Mt. Liebig and Santa Teresa in the Northern Territory. The aim of the project is to initially develop resources to enable the local communities to tackle the immediate issues surrounding suicide and self-harm and then also provide guidance for future intervention projects. The project involves, for example, culturally and community appropriate activities which value the role of Indigenous men within their communities.
