About 250 people attended this morning's HALT tradie breakie at Hume and Iser, Bendigo.
Free goodie bags are being handed out with volunteers serving coffee and egg and bacon rolls.
HALT stands for Hope, Assistance, Local Tradies. HALT was started about six months ago in response to the impact of recent suicides in the region.
The initiative is designed to raise awareness of anxiety, depression and well-being in the tradie community.
