Suicide is not only a tragic loss of a persons life but often a traumatic and devastating experience for those friends, families and co-workers left behind.
The prevalence of suicide is a very serious issue in Australia with alarming rates for youth and rural Australians.
We raise this topic and hope it will help by providing easier access to information to many of us in the community no matter which group we belong to:-
- youth
- the elderly
- aboriginal peoples & torres strait islanders
- people of non-english speaking backgrounds
- people with a disability
- people isolated by distance or circumstances or diverse cultural backgrounds
- health professionals
- carers
and for anyone who has been affected by suicide.
