Co-design in Suicide Prevention

Bronwen, the founder of Roses in the Ocean, will open up to us about the Roses journey so far, what they have learned and the way they have changed how they go about their work.

Bronwen is the founding CEO of Roses in the Ocean, the national lived experience of suicide organisation which was established in 2011 following the suicide of her brother Mark. First and foremost, Bronwen brings her personal lived experience of suicide to the table, while also striving to honour the vast perspectives of others she has been privileged to work with and walk alongside over many years.

Roses in the Ocean provides innovative, collaborative leadership across the suicide prevention system for people with lived experience of suicide, communities, sector organisations & government. They also deliver non-clinical peer-led community-based services and continuously explore and improve how they approach community consultation and co-design.

Roses in the Ocean is ready to take the next step in its mission to save lives. As part of its strategic plan, it intends to shift its focus to meet the needs of individuals and communities across Australia. This involves creating services and supports designed and led by the community and peers. Roses in the Ocean will use its strengths to build capacity, empower others to co-design these services and support their implementation.
