Being a Lifeline WA Ambassador is an important role in the WA community. Lifeline WA Ambassadors support our vision in a range of ways from sharing ‘lived experience’ stories to active participation in Lifeline WA fundraising events and initiatives. This helps us to raise awareness of our services and encourages open and responsible discussion about mental health and suicide.

Ambassadors play a critical role in de-stigmatising suicide and mental health issues in the community, and they assist in showing that mental illness and suicidal thoughts don’t discriminate between social status, age, race, gender or any other demographic. Anyone can be affected, at any stage of life.

Stigma is still one of the main barriers for people seeking or accepting help for a mental illness or suicidal thoughts.

When Ambassadors share their lived experience of suicide or living with a mental illness it can provide hope and inspiration to others who are or have been in a similar situation.
