- The Active Life Enhancing Intervention (ALIVE) Program is one of only a few community-based suicide prevention programs in Australia.
- Person-centred, recovery focused, suicide and self-harm intervention program, delivered through 1:1 sessions, group work and family and carer supports.
- Interventions including best practice therapy techniques, counselling and service linkages are provided to achieve a reduction in distress levels and improve wellbeing.
- Our registered clinicians deliver regular sessions for Perth-based individuals, aged 17 and over.
Who is it for?
The ALIVE program offers support for individuals aged 17 and older who have attempted or are at risk of suicide. This service provides prompt and professional assessments, both initial and ongoing, which include safety planning and case management. It also offers psychological therapies such as low-intensity Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, problem-solving therapy, and therapeutic counselling. Additionally, the program connects individuals with general practitioners and ensures follow-up with community and social services.
Who operates the program?
ALIVE is run by 360 Health + Community and it is funded by the Western Australian Primary Health Alliance (WAPHA). It is delivered by mental health clinicians that include psychologists, counsellors, and social workers who are trained in suicide prevention.
How does it run?
ALIVE operates year-round. Referrals will be assessed by a triage officer to determine eligibility and managed dependent on appointment availability. ALIVE does not hold a waitlist and aims to engage with the person being referred within one week of referral. The program operates Monday-Friday from 8.30am-4.30pm. It does not operate on weekends and/or public holidays.
Where is it available?
ALIVE is delivered in the following locations:
- Warwick
