A note on tonight’s event.
Since the death of our beloved Jack in October 2024, members of the Polyphony community have received invaluable suicide bereavement support from organisations including Standby, Switchboard, Q Life, and ACON. Of these services, only Standby is fully government-funded.
Suicide is the leading cause of death among Australians aged 15 to 44. Psychological distress is particularly high among LGBTIQA+ people. We encourage you to make a donation, if you can, so that all of these organisations can continue to provide free and accessible peer support to everyone who needs it.
If anything in this program or tonight’s event raises issues for you, you can also call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
