G’day! Live from Broken Hill, on a beautiful, rare rainy Saturday afternoon, I’m so grateful to share a really meaningful milestone for the Jordan Liberty documentary project. Suicide Prevention Australia has formally endorsed the project.
As the national peak body for suicide prevention, their support carries real weight, and it means a lot, both to me personally and to the project as a whole.
In their letter of endorsement, Suicide Prevention Australia shared their confidence in the way the film is being approached, noting that the project represents:
“Best practice lived experience storytelling, grounded in ethical principles, respectful representation, and a clear commitment to minimising harm while maximising positive impact.”
They also acknowledged the importance of bringing lived experience and expertise together:
“The inclusion of expert insights alongside personal storytelling further strengthens the project’s credibility and contribution to public understanding.”
Importantly, like all of us who are already invested in the success of this project, they recognised the national potential for the film to contribute to broader change, particularly in places like Broken Hill:
“We believe Jordan Liberty has the potential to make a meaningful contribution to national conversations about suicide prevention and mental health, particularly in regional and rural Australia.”
From the very beginning, it has been essential to me that this project is made with care, responsibility, and integrity. To have that approach recognised by Suicide Prevention Australia reinforces the path the project is on and gives me confidence as it continues to evolve.
I genuinely hope we can make a meaningful difference, and I look forward to working together with Suicide Prevention Australia as the project grows and reaches new audiences.
