As we approach December 10 and the start of new restrictions on social media access for those under 16, we asked Orygens experts what these changes mean for young people and how we can all stay safe and connected online. .

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. It is an important day for communities to specifically focus on su***de prevention, to remember the lives lost and support those left behind. There are a few important things we need to be mindful of:

-> ANY sudden traumatic event that has resulted in someone losing a loved one, or loved ones, can result in complex and prolonged grief. If you are struggling, please reach out to your friends, family and loved ones. If you or someone you know is finding it really hard, ring Lifeline on 13 11 14 or 000 in an emergency.

-> This time of the year can bring up painful memories for some. StandBy Support After Su***de and (First Nation peoples) are there to support those people experiencing loss and who might be struggling a little more at this time.

-> How we speak about su***de is important. You may be seeing more Chatsafe online advice on your socials to support young people, parents and communities safely talk about mental ill health and su***de. Please take the time to reshare.

-> We can all play a part in challenging stigma and poor media reporting. SANE have a reporting tool if community members feel the media is stigmatising or sensationalising su***de deaths and people who die by su***de. Working with Mindframe, they provide media organisations with capacity building opportunities to increase the safety of their reporting. There is also the option to report positive media reporting that challenges stigma, smashes myths, and encourage help-seeking and offering help.

-> Today there are many Lifeline walks across Australia to raise vital funds for their life-saving work. One-time or monthly donations can be made
