Suicide prevention is everyone’s business and it starts with me, with you, with us. Here you will find important information that can be used when you or someone you know needs support to stay safe. These resources assist in recognising signs in yourself or others, knowing how to have conversations and where to seek support.
If you are having suicidal thoughts, please talk to someone. The following services are available to you and to family members, carers and friends.
