Loneliness and social isolation can affect everyone, but older people are particularly vulnerable after the loss of friends and family, reduced mobility or reduced income. We (State Govt.) fund a range of programs, available across Queensland, to help you reduce your risk of isolation, improve your health, and strengthen your links with your community.
Community Connections Phase 3 Report
Since 2001 TOMNET has aimed to develop, implement and expand effective responses to reduce suicide amongst older men in regional, rural and remote locations throughout Toowoomba and South West Queensland.
The Community Connections Project Phase 3 has continued to develop and tailor services against three key organisation principles:
Older men are the most effective at supporting one another.
The element of mateship is integral to the relationships that older men have with each other.
Suicide prevention and awareness in older men must address the social determinates of health and wellbeing whilst promoting a culture of connectedness.
The purpose of the Community Connections Phase 3 Project was to continue to respond to and address the needs of older men who are one of the key groups vulnerable to high levels of suicide.
