All are welcome

We offer people and families a variety of suicide prevention and recovery supports and programs in the community.

Overview

Stride offers a range of supports to people who are in emotional distress and at risk of suicide. We also seek to support the recovery of people and their families and carers after a suicide attempt.

Safe Spaces and Safe Havens

Stride Space Spaces and Safe Havens are welcoming, quiet and comfortable places in the community for individuals experiencing emotional distress, suicidal thoughts or tough times to access support. You will be welcomed by peer workers who have navigated their own crises and are able to listen and provide support that meets your needs.
