Choose Life - Not Pain

The Sexual Assault Support Service has identified an increase of young people participating in self harming behaviours. After consulting with a number of young people in the Glenorchy municipality it was agreed that there is a need to start talking about and raising awareness of this issue in our community.

In consultation with the Glenorchy Youth Task Force and other young people, a brochure and a slap band with 'Choose Life NOT Pain' has been developed.  Click on the link below to download a recent article from September's Glenorchy Gazette regarding this campaign;
