In this episode, we speak with Lyndsay Walker, the chairperson of UMatter, a suicide prevention and peer support group based in Maitland. Lyndsay shares insights from their recent large-scale event, which brought together over a thousand community members, and explains how UMatter supports people coping with loss, mental health challenges, and difficult times.

We also discuss the group’s services, including free mental health training, pop-up safe spaces, and upcoming physical safe spaces for community support. Lyndsay highlights how volunteers and donations play a crucial role in keeping these life-saving initiatives running. If you’re looking for ways to give back, support mental health, or simply learn more about local initiatives, this episode is for you.
