It has been the most taboo subject of them all, long considered something too serious, too dangerous, and too wrong, to talk about.
But that’s changing.
Now, we’re being urged by campaigns like World Suicide Prevention Day to see suicide as a health issue that needs to be part of public and private conversations.
Health professionals and research outcomes are encouraging us to talk more openly about suicide, whether we’ve had thoughts relating to it, or we’ve known someone who
has died by suicide, or we work in a sector like first responders –that has a high rate of risk.
If you or someone you know needs support, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467.
If there is immediate danger, call 000.
