The Distress and Suicide Prevention theme emphasises the critical need for tailored, place-based interventions that address the unique challenges contributing to distress in rural, regional, and remote (RRR) communities. We are working on key activities, including understanding the pathways from mental wellness to illness and crisis, enhancing mental health knowledge among the community and extending professional skill sets in suicide prevention, and fostering collaboration in research and capacity building across Australia and internationally. The work highlights the importance of involving those with lived experience in the co-creation of solutions, ensuring the relevance and impact of outcomes through our partners and Lived Experience Advisory group members.
