What Is a Connector?

A Connector is:

A mate who looks out for their workmates
The go-to person when someone needs to talk
Someone who notices when others aren’t themselves
A person trained to recognise the signs that someone is struggling – and help them access support
Connectors play a critical role in suicide prevention.
