Youth Accommodation Services
About Us
The Luminos Project is a non-medical, short-stay residential service for young people aged 16-24 experiencing thoughts of suicide. Designed to have a home like environment, you will have an opportunity to engage in structured and unstructured therapeutic activities.
Across your stay you will be encouraged to connect with other guests and staff, which will include clinical support, peers, support coordinators, and volunteer support counsellors. The Luminos Project has been co-designed by leaders in youth suicide support, mental health services and research evaluation. Young people, parents, carers and stakeholders were also engaged in the co-design process, to ensure the service was fit for purpose.
Each day you will be involved in:
- 2-hour skills groups on either mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance
- 2-hour semi-structured relaxation activities to consolidate skills (e.g. mindful walking in nature)
- Engaging in 1-1 conversations with staff and volunteers
- (optional) meal preparation with staff and other guests

Samaritans WA aim to help build communities in which people have appropriate support to explore how they feel and to build mental wellness. We believe that everyone has the capability to find their inner strength and resilience. We understand that sometimes our capability can feel lost, especially when we feel overwhelmed, isolated, disconnected from others, or helpless. When provided with a safe and caring environment, a listening ear, and the support to explore our feelings, we can uncover our own pathway forward.
