The council and the Phoenix Centre translated guides into 10 commonly spoken languages including Amharic, Nepali, and Tigrinya. Each card goes beyond simple translation from English with culturally relevant guidance on helping others with mental health issues. Council departments published the cards online and offer print versions at community events. The Launceston Suicide Prevention Prevention Trial trains community members to identify early signs of suicidal behavior.
