Shannon – Community Premiere | Artists for Suicide Prevention

About the Event

The South-West community is coming together for a special premiere of “Shannon” — a locally produced mental health music video project.

Around 100 local community members contributed their skills and talents as part of the Artists for Suicide Prevention collective, led by Busselton pharmacist and musician Ron Hood. Filmed across the region, from the shores of Yallingup Beach to the iconic Busselton Jetty, the project shares a powerful message of hope and connection — helping people feel seen, supported, and reminded that help is always available.

This community event aims to:

• Raise awareness for mental health

• Start important conversations

• Bring people together through music and storytelling

Why This Matters

In recent years, our local community has experienced the heartbreaking loss of lives to suicide. The effects are felt deeply by families, friends, and our wider community — a reality shared across Australia and around the world.

This unique community project aims to share hope and encourage people to reach out and seek support.

Together, we can make a difference.
