Roses in the Ocean

Roses in the Ocean was founded on, and operates through the lens of lived experience of suicide.  We exist to change the way suicide is spoken about, understood and prevented, and pride ourselves on successfully operating at a grass roots level within communities and at a strategic and operational level with non-government organisations, the private sector and government.

As a lead organisation for lived experience of suicide in Australia, we are focussed on building a safe, trained and supported Lived Experience “Workforce” with the expertise and skills needed to bring the lived experience as a voice of change in all aspects of suicide prevention.

We do this through offering a range of capacity building workshops and training opportunities for people with a lived experience of suicide.  All of our workshops and programs are designed to empower people to engage meaningfully in suicide prevention activity in their local communities and on Lived Experience Reference Groups, in ways that are relevant to their expertise and desired level of involvement.
