Suicide prevention | Wesley LifeForce marks 30 years of saving lives
Wesley LifeForce has celebrated a major milestone, marking 30 years of community-led lifesaving work in preventing suicide across Australia.

 

Since 1995, we've trained over 50,000 people in suicide prevention, mobilised 3,000+ volunteers, and supported over 137 community-led networks nationwide.

 

 

 

Our founder, Rev Robert Dunlop, had a vision to empower communities to take action against suicide. Today, we're proud to be one of Australia's leading suicide prevention programs.
