☀️Our Mission☀️

The Mission of the Sunlight Centre is to suppo

rt people and local communities during times of crises of su***de ideation and self-harm through face to face counselling, support and professional services free of charge. Therapeutic Plan of the Sunlight Centre

To bring therapeutic support directly to anyone that needs it in the local community, the greater Brisbane areas, and beyond to lower stigma around mental health, su***de and deliberate self-harm. The Sunlight Centre’s therapeutic plan follows Three Stages:

☀️ Psycho-education – bringing awareness and coping mechanisms to the
community
☀️ Action – Free one to one therapy sessions for people in crises
☀️ Follow-up – Group support for clients and families that have gone through
therapy at the Sunlight Centre

The Sunlight Centre will offer a warm safe environment where men, women and young people can avail of free face to face, one on one counselling sessions. Our team of therapists use the Sunlight Centre’s Therapy Model throughout all of the Three Stages of support. After the initial assessment, these sessions are available to all men, women and young people who are thinking that they want to end their lives. Sunlight Centre also offers free support to men, women and young people who feel they would like to reduce, stop or just talk about their deliberate self-harming. The Sunlight Centre facilitates workshops, seminars and school and club talks about how our ‘Trauma Points’ can build up pain and depression and suicidal ideation. We also offer group talks and sessions for people that have gone through bereavement by su***de, or have themselves, attempted to end their lives.
