SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH

This September we'll be talking about su***de prevention — but importantly, we’ll be talking about the things we can all do before someone reaches crisis point.

Throughout the month, we’ll share conversations around:

🤝 Connection & belonging — why mates, family, workplaces and community matter.

🤝 Speaking up — asking for support isn’t weakness, and sometimes one conversation can be the start of something better.

🤝 Finding the right support — from a chat and connection through to one-on-one support when you need it.

🤝 Looking out for each other — noticing when someone might not be themselves, checking in and making the time to listen.

🤝 Understanding the impact of su***de — remembering that behind every statistic is a person, a family, mates, workmates and a community.

Su***de prevention belongs to all of us.

Connect. Check in. Listen. Make time. And if you’re the one doing it tough — reach out.

At Bob’s Garage, you don’t need to wait until things get really bad. Come in for a coffee, join a Pit Stop, go for a walk or have a confidential one-on-one conversation.

Let’s make September a month of connection, conversation and looking out for each other. 💙🧡
