Heal Our Way is a NSW Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander suicide prevention campaign, funded by the NSW Ministry of Health under Towards Zero Suicides and delivered by Aboriginal social change agency, Cox Inall Ridgeway.
​
Heal Our Way aims to encourage and empower Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across NSW to have safe conversations around suicide, increase community knowledge about mental health and suicide prevention, and creating awareness of suicide prevention services available locally and those who are culturally appropriate.
