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.

Tickets are free to ensure the event is accessible to everyone.

If you are in a position to do so, please consider adding a donation when booking. After standard payment processing fees, 100% of funds received are allocated to delivering and promoting the Shannon project, helping to share this message with the community.

The evening will begin with time to arrive and connect. Catering will be supported by Menable, followed by a cinema screening of the "Shannon" suicide prevention music video project.

Guests will then hear from a special 20 minute Q&A panel facilitated by David Barton from the Man Walk.
