This Sunday there will be a fundraising walk to support organisations helping the community to prevent suicide.
Mario and Jono, cofounders of The Whisperer Team, will be there, ready to discuss the details of our upcoming eLearning program.
Jono will don the hat and jacket and join some of his mates in neighbouring stalls from Six Brothers, Good Better Best Men and fellow Rotarians. Up for a chat but also there to enjoy the day with some of the leaders in this space.
While Mario will be ready, willing and waiting to reel off the stats and figures around suicide ideation and why programs like ours are vital for communities across the country. Starting with pubs and The Pub Whisperer.
The 5km walk along the Esplanade from Port Noarlunga South to Moana is followed by a family fun event to raise awareness for mental health and wellbeing. Food and refreshments will be available during the event, together with a host of activities and stalls with information from organisations in the mental health and suicide prevention sector.
Hopefully we'll see you between 10am and 2pm on Sunday.

Jono, co-founder of The Whisperer Team, has made it to the finalist stage of The Help Awards and he's up for a People's Choice Award.

Help Awards: "Jonathan Hart is the founder of The Pub Whisperer. The Pub Whisperer provides mental health support for those doing it tough in pubs. In 2017 he travelled Australia filming pubs and created his website.
When Covid hit in 2020 he knew there was more that he could do to help and so created The Suicide Prevention Checklist for publicans and bar staff to assist them to spot the signs of suicide ideation in their patrons and get them the support they need.

He created two Pubs Supporting People Days which united people in community during those days. The Pub Whisperer will release its Support Over Suicide Program in late 2023, which will provide in depth training to bar and gaming staff in pubs to prevent suicide nationally."
