The Life Framework (Living Is For Everyone) is a program based in WA that aims to support people in life with a significant evidence base.
The LIFE Framework is a National Suicide Prevention Strategy project managed by Crisis Support Services on behalf of the Department of Health and Ageing. The project aims to improve access to suicide and self-harm prevention activities in Australia through the promotion of the LIFE resources and website and improve communication between suicide prevention stakeholders in Australia.
This is achieved by providing access to a range of resources and research, including the latest information from National Suicide Prevention Strategy (NSPS) projects.
The resources it provides offer the health sector a useful framework for understanding suicide, implementing suicide prevention programs and collaborating with other government and non-government organisations to reduce the impact of suicide.
