Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 NT World Su***de Prevention Day Forum.
It was a powerful two days of learning, reflection, connection and honest conversation — bringing together people with lived and living experience, community leaders, service providers, government, clinicians, researchers and organisations all committed to reducing su***de and strengthening mental health support across the NT.
People shared openly. We listened to different perspectives. We challenged stigma. We talked about what needs to change. Most importantly, we reminded each other that no one should have to navigate distress, loss or mental ill -health alone.
Events like this matter because connection matters. Courage matters. And sometimes one conversation, one person who listens, or one act of compassion can make an enormous difference.
A heartfelt thank you to the members of the WSPD Forum Planning Committee, our speakers, panellists, facilitators, sponsors, partners, volunteers and every person who showed up and contributed so generously.
A special thank you to Adam Steer, ABC radio host who was our MC for the day.
I’m also grateful to Waterlily Healing Indigenous Corporation for co-hosting this year and helping us bring even more community voices into the conversation.
The work does not stop when the Forum ends. We now need to keep the conversations going, strengthen partnerships and turn what we heard and learned into meaningful action.
Together, we can build stronger, more connected communities where people feel safe to reach out, ask for help and hold onto hope. 💛
