The Prevention Collective
A growing community of local businesses and individuals standing together for resilience and connection, before people reach crisis point.
Prevention works best when it’s early, local, and visible
Too often support only arrives when things have already escalated. Iris Foundation exists to help change that, building resilience, connection, and practical pathways of support across schools, workplaces, and the wider community. The Prevention Collective is how local people and businesses become part of that work.
Earlier support, better outcomes
When communities invest in resilience before crisis, the impact is real, fewer people reaching breaking point, and more people navigating life’s pressures with the tools they need.
It starts with connection
Belonging and being seen early, in workplaces, schools and communities gives people language and pathways long before things unravel. The Prevention Collective helps make that visible and normal locally.
Simple, credible, manageable
The Prevention Collective is designed for people who want to do something meaningful without complexity, without burden, and with a clear sense of what their contribution makes possible.
19 years of local prevention
Iris Foundation has been doing this work on the Central Coast since 2006. Born from lived experience, grounded in evidence, and trusted by the community it serves.
Staying connected to Iris Foundation, each other and something good in our community.
Iris Connect is the community connection stream of The Prevention Collective, bringing together the people, businesses and partners who support Iris Foundation and help strengthen suicide prevention across the Central Coast.
It’s not formal networking. It’s a relaxed way to stay close to Iris, meet others who care about community, and feel part of the work your support makes possible.
