21.01.2022 If you notice any of these things in a person you know and care about, please be brave and ask them directly if they are feeling suicidal. If the response is yes you can help them by listening to what has brought them to this place in time, downloading a safety plan such as the BeyondNow Safety Plan app and helping them to seek ongoing support. You may feel very anxious about asking this question but it could save their life. Research has also shown that asking the question will not out the idea in a persons head if it isn’t already there. Be brave, ask, support and save a life.

01.01.2022 This is from the Being Newsletter. Being is the Peak Body for people with Lived experience of MH issues in NSW: Suicide Prevention Australia - ABS Causes of Death Data Addressing suicide prevention skills gap key to saving lives... Data released on Friday by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) showing an increase in deaths by suicide is tragic and sends a resounding message that more needs to be done to support vulnerable people in our communities. 3,318 Australians died by suicide in 2019, which is 12.9 deaths per 100,000 people. This represents an increase of around 6% compared with the 3,138 suicide deaths reported for 2018. That equates to 9.1 deaths per day compared to 8.6 deaths per day in recent years. Suicide Prevention Australia CEO, Nieves Murray said, These figures are heartbreaking and unacceptable. Part of the solution is identifying those in distress before they reach crisis point and helping them find the right support."
