The AfterBAGS Project
Suicide is a traumatic, life-altering experience for the people left in its wake. We aim to make the time beyond a little more comfortable with AfterBAGS support bundles.
Packed with supplies specifically selected to help comfort someone through the uniquely difficult experience of suicide loss, an AfterBAG is an opportunity to offer support and make a difference to someone near you or a stranger.
Every AfterBAGS purchase helps us bring free courses where they’re needed most.
“Better mental health outcomes benefit everybody, and with the right skills and knowledge, anyone can make a difference”
In Australia, and also the wider world, mental health outcomes continually fail to meet the standards of a healthy, functioning society. It’s an issue that deserves our attention – to overcome stigmas and create an environment where people are supported through tough times. We believe it can be achieved with a dedicated response from everyday people.
The Mental Health Coach is our way to improve the support available to vulnerable people all throughout society in a tangible, lasting way. With knowledge from evidence-based training and the confidence to share experiences with peers, we work with you to make a difference.
Nick started The Mental Health Coach with this in mind. From his background as coach, counsellor, facilitator and leader of multidisciplinary teams, he came to understand the wide variety of ways different people engage with learning.
Through programs like the globally-recognised Mental Health First Aid training, TMHC reaches people throughout society. We help people build safer, stronger, more supportive places to work, live and grow. By sharing the knowledge and skills that help make an impact when it matters most, we can all work together to move the needle in the right direction.
