Suicide Prevention Outreach Team (SPOT)

About

The Suicide Prevention Outreach Team (SPOT) helps people who are in distress, suicidal or at risk of self-harm.

SPOT is a mobile service operating in the Blue Mountains local government area and can come to you.

A person in need of help can speak to a peer worker with lived experience of suicide or to a mental health clinician.

You can request SPOT by calling the Mental Health Line on 1800 011 511.
