Spotlight Session: Suicide Prevention
12 November, 2024
Trinette Stanley’s spotlight guides us all into conversations that can help change the narrative on suicide.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call one of the following national helplines:
Lifeline 13 11 14, Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467
Lifeline 13 11 14, Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467
Approximately 200 people in Australia attempt suicide every day and, on average, 8 of these die from suicide. It can confront people at various ages, and not everyone who dies by suicide is experiencing a mental or behavioural illness. This means we can’t assume that those we know won’t ever have this experience.
The circumstances related to suicide are complex and multifaceted and so we all need to be prepared to have a conversation if we are worried about someone.
