Suicide Prevention Community Action Planning (SPCAP)
Whilst the TSPN is focussed on the Townsville community and suicide prevention activities locally, it’s important to understand too that there are funded programs that support Suicide prevention activities in the region.
The SPCAP program, funded by the North Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN) seeks to support suicide prevention activities and services for everyone in the Northern Queensland Region.
The purpose of Suicide Prevention Community Action Planning (SPCAP) is to lead the collaborative development of coordinated community plans for suicide prevention activities across the Northern Queensland region.
Suicide Prevention Community Action Planning includes and supports those with lived experience to help inform and guide all our plans; while bringing together other key stakeholders working in different sectors such as: Health, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Education, Family Violence, Local Government, Emergency Services, Commercial, Community and Volunteer Groups across our regions.
The SPAC are building on action planning undertaken in previous years and are working now to plan the way forward for the north Queensland region
