Ingvar Kenne co-directs new spot with Jason Loucas for World Suicide Prevention Day
Suicide Prevention Australia has launched the ‘Reach out and get connected’ campaign this week in support of World Suicide Prevention Day; an event that aims to raise awareness about the problem and the many ways in which we can work to reduce global suicide rates.
The Pool Collective’s Ingvar Kenn has co-directed the spot with Jason Loucas. The poignant TVC is airing on free to air TV and features known personalities; Alex Perry, Steve Willis, Steve Waugh, Mia Freedman, Justine Clarke, Jessica Rowe, Luke Carroll and Jesinta Campbell who all donated their time for this important cause.
The Behind the Scenes video also shares the story of Trish Heagerty, a Suicide Prevention Australia community supporter. Heagerty is the project director for this campaign and having personally experienced the heartache of suicide, is hoping to help others through raising awareness of the numerous support channels available.
Suicide Prevention Australia (SPA) is the national peak body for the suicide prevention sector in Australia with a growing role in providing policy advice to governments, community awareness and public education, increased involvement in research and a future role in leading Australia’s engagement nationally and internationally.

Not a biggie, but then again it is. The correct media protocol when publishing anything to do with suicide is for there to be an appropriate and relevant link and phone number to LifeLine and/or Beyond Blue.
