As part of this year’s Lismore Pride Month celebrations, we are lifting the lid on mental wellbeing by opening

 the door for a safe and supported conversation around suicide as we want to recognise those who have 

considered ending their own lives, those who have attempted to do so, those of you who support loved ones 

through suicidal crisis, and those of you bereaved through suicide. 

Research shows that LGBTQIA+ communities experience higher levels of mental ill-health, 

suicide and self-harm, compared with the general population. Within the LGBTQIA+ communities, 

trans and gender diverse participants experience greater risk of suicidal thoughts 

and behaviours, compared with cis-gendered.

Felicitated by

Lee McDongall Clinical Psychologist. 

Jill Rhodes Retired Social Worker. 

Sara Torpey Registered Clinical Counseller.

Come along on Saturday 21th June from 11am to 12pm to the Lismore Art Gallery

What to expect: an open, supported conversation about mental wellbeing, suicide, self-care, and where to find support.
