Originally launched in 2007, Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter's Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Service has helped thousands of local people with its three pronged approach to suicide prevention—Prevention, Intervention and Postvention (Bereaved by Suicide)

The CSPS - also known as LIFE MATTERS, has enabled Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter to conduct Community Training promoting awareness of those at risk of suicide, one-on-one counselling for those at immediate risk of suicide and in supporting the people in in our region who are bereaved by suicide.
