Our collaborations
At Roses in the Ocean, we believe that collaboration is essential when developing, reviewing and implementing any suicide prevention strategy, policy, service, program or activity. We pride ourselves on our highly collaborative nature and know that while lived experience of suicide is a critical part of everything, it is through pooling our expertise with others’ that we can best meet the needs of people within our communities.
Our strong collaborative beliefs ensure that we work alongside Government, Mental Health Commissions, Primary Health Networks, Community groups, Suicide Prevention Networks, Non-Government Organisations and corporate organisations.
We are guided by the following when determining our collaborative partnerships:
- are we the natural owner?
- can we add meaningful value?
- do we have the resources to deliver?
- is it truly collaborative and inclusive?
Strategic Planning
It is critical that strategic plans including their implementation and ongoing operationalisation are informed and shaped by people with a lived experience of suicide and that lived experience oversight is embedded as a mechanism of ongoing guardianship through evaluation and continuous improvement processes.
Roses in the Ocean is available to work closely with Primary Health Networks, organisations, state, territory and national governments to support the development and implementation of suicide prevention strategic plans and organisational strategic plans.
