Join us at suicide prevention events across Australia this week at Anytime Fitness Friday July 28

This week is a big week for Suicide Prevention Australia, as we host our 2017 National Suicide Prevention Conference in Brisbane and also launch the biggest community driven suicide prevention event ever seen with our partner, gym giant Anytime Fitness.

As a friend and supporter of Suicide Prevention Australia, we invite you to join us at a number of events happening around the country.

This Friday to Saturday, join us at the Anytime Fitness Plebs, Pros and Personalities 24 hour treadmill challenge hosted in over 300 Anytime Fitness clubs nationally. Be part of this community of individuals who are passionate about suicide prevention and do your part to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention. Thousands of individuals will come together to do their 15 minutes or more on a treadmill over the 24 hours.

Are you a service provider? If you are a local service provider, contact your local club to set up a stall and meet the community.
