The Life Is...Foundation is a not for profit charitable organisation dedicated to well being and harm prevention in our community.

It has originated from the growing concern about increasing rates of emotional distress, including depression, self harm and suicidal behaviours that are occurring in our children, young people and adults and its aim is to develop and implement practical well being and harm prevention programs that enhance resilience as well as increasing knowledge and understanding of the issues involved.
