About SOS Yorkes

SOS Yorkes was founded in 2015, our group has played a crucial role in raising suicide awareness in the Yorke Peninsula community.

SOS Yorkes is a dedicated community initiative focused on suicide prevention, mental health support, and emotional well-being for individuals across the Yorke Peninsula. Our goal is to reduce the incidence of suicide, support those experiencing mental health crises, and provide ongoing care for survivors and their families. We believe that no one should feel alone in their struggles, and we are here to offer a compassionate hand when it's needed most.

Our main objective is to promote Community Awareness and Education: We have funding to run Mental Health First Aid workshops, rallying for more local services and awareness campaigns aimed at reducing stigma and teaching the community how to identify signs of distress and how to intervene in a crisis.
