About us

headspace School Support is a new initiative funded by the Federal Government, Department of Health and Ageing, that provides support to secondary schools affected by the suicide of a student.

headspace School Support is not a crisis service but can be used in conjunction with the relevant Education Department, Independent Schools Association or Catholic Education Office and/or mental health services who assist the school immediately following a suicide.

Support is individually tailored to the schools needs and can be accessed for:

  • Short and long term responses following a suicide or suspected suicide
  • Support and advice regarding managing a suicide in a school setting
  • Resources including a Suicide Postvention Toolkit, fact sheets and links to other relevant websites are available here

Email or phone support is currently available from our headspace National School Support team.

Call us on 1800 688 248

Or email schoolsupport@headspace.org.au

Please note office hours are 9am-5pm AEST Monday to Friday. Calls and emails received outside these hours will be attended to on the next working day.
