Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Community Network

The Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Community Network (TSPCN) values the contributions of all Tasmanians interested in or affected by suicide. It provides a platform for individuals and organisations to share experiences and participate in decision-making around suicide prevention.

Through TSPCN, members collaborate to address issues in suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention. The network believes everyone has a role to play, and that resilient communities willing to openly discuss suicide are better equipped to respond effectively.

Albie House

Albie House exists to ensure that every Tasmanian that is experiencing grief, loss or distress due to suicide will feel supported and not lost and alone in their grief. We help the community by offering trust in an open safe space to talk on a monthly basis. With this trust comes guidance, with sessions run by both people with lived experience as well as clinical psychologists to offer professional guidance when necessary.
