The Prevention Collective is a practical partnership for local businesses who want to help make prevention visible, normal and local – before people reach crisis.
Businesses are under pressure. Communities are too. Many business owners want to do something meaningful, and need it to be clear, credible, and manageable. The Prevention Collective gives businesses a simple, meaningful way to say yes to suicide prevention locally.
Why Businesses Partner
Too often support only arrives when things have already escalated. Iris Foundation exists to help change that.
We work before crisis point, building resilience, connection, and practical pathways of support across schools, workplaces, and the wider community. When local businesses stand with prevention, they help make that work stronger, more visible, and more sustainable.
What Does Participation Look Like?
This is not another logo swap. It is a simple way to show leadership in suicide prevention while supporting local programs that build resilience, hope and connection. Each business will recieve the following:
A Prevention Partner Welcome Pack
Including a digital badge, social media tile, and wording you can use to share your support with staff and customers.
Annual Workplace Prevention Resources
Simple, ready-to-use tools to help your team build connection, start conversations and promote help-seeking before crisis.
Local Impact Updates
Updates showing what your support is helping make possible through Iris Foundation’s prevention work.
Recognition as a Local Prevention Partner
Acknowledgement on Iris Foundation digital platforms and opportunities to be recognised as part of a growing circle of local businesses backing prevention.
Invitation to an Annual Prevention Partner Gathering
A chance to connect with other local businesses, hear what is happening in the community, and be part of the bigger prevention conversation.
Pathway to Deeper Workplace Support
Access to Iris Foundation training, workshops or wellbeing sessions if your business wants to take the next step.
Additional resources will be provided per business tier.
Why This Matters to Business
Every business carries people – staff, customers, contractors, families and community connections. When people are overwhelmed, isolated or silently struggling, the impact does not stay outside the workplace.
Prevention gives people language before things unravel. Connection helps people notice, care and act sooner. A visible business commitment helps make support feel normal, not hidden.
Earlier investment in people’s capacity to navigate life’s pressures reduces preventable harm and protects lives from the devastating impact of suicide.
