23.01.2022 World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) is an awareness day observed on 10 September every year, in order to provide a worldwide commitment and action to prevent suicides. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness around the globe that suicide can be prevented. Even in a best-case scenario, Australia is forecast to see an increase in suicide deaths of at least 13.7% over the next 5 years, according to a new report released by the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Cen...tre. The Road to recovery: restoring Australia’s mental wealth report, released in August this year, highlighted the importance of coordinated economic, education, social and mental health measures in safeguarding the mental health of Australians in the wake of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The report cautioned that more awareness may not be the answer, forecasting that mental health awareness programs may increase mental health-related emergency department (ED) presentations by 5.2% in the 20202025 period.
