Bolstering Suicide Prevention Activity through Targeted Regional Initiatives for Suicide Prevention
Targeted Regional Initiatives for Suicide Prevention
The Targeted Regional Initiatives for Suicide Prevention (TRISP) is a community-based suicide prevention program aimed at improving mental health support and suicide prevention at a grassroots community level. The program focuses on strengthening community connections and enhancing the coordination of suicide prevention activities across various regions. The goals and strategies of TRISP are designed to reduce siloed efforts and improve the overall impact of local suicide prevention initiatives.
The TRISP team at Relationships Australia Tasmania provides pathways for community groups to connect with the Suicide Prevention team to develop a tailored Community Action Plan (CAP) for their community group. A CAP is a practical plan that communities (workplace, school, club, or organisation) develop together to safely build supports to prevent and reduce suicide. These plans are established around the specific needs of each group and are aligned with the Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Strategy (2023–2027).
The TRISP team are located in the north and the south of the state.
