PBB is one of Australia's most effective suicide prevention services yet we are also one of the lowest cost and most efficient with over 99% of our work being delivered by volunteers. However, we support thousands of people in need each year and we need additional funds to reach more of those who require our unique help, and to cover the cost of venues, insurance and training.

Each year we prevent over 350 suicides which puts us firmly in the running for best bang for your buck, and we are the only service to focus solely on one of the most at risk demographics - separating parents. Over 50% of separated dads feel suicidal and 1 in 4 of all male suicides relates to separation. 

We work to make positive change happen on an individual, cultural and systemic level. 

We help separated mums and dads find more effective ways to deal with their situation, building their resilience and coping mechanisms; we do this through our helpline, local peer support groups, online peer support groups and other resources. 

We work to raise public awareness of the challenges that separated non-custodial parents face, and to improve the way the system helps parents contribute to the upbringing of their children.

On a systemic level, we offer government and other expert bodies unique factual insights and recommendations to allow them to better serve the needs of separating families.
