This week marks National Su***de Prevention Week, with World Su***de Prevention Day on September 10. This marks a time to reflect, connect, and recommit to preventing su***de and spreading hope.
This year’s theme, “Changing the Narrative on Su***de”, is a call-out to everyone to make the switch from silence and stigma, to openness, empathy, and action. Because behind every statistic is a story - a family, a friend, a colleague, a community.
In Australia, su***de remains the leading cause of death among people aged 15–44. Every year, more than 3,000 lives are lost, and over 55,000 people make an attempt. These numbers are heartbreaking, but they also remind us why crucial conversations like this matter so greatly.
If you, or someone you love is struggling, please know you don’t have to go through it alone. Support is available, and reaching out can be the first step towards healing.
