Suicide rates are rising. Why isn’t anyone talking about it?

In the past year, we’ve seen a rise in suicide across Australia. However - outside of R U OK Day and World Suicide Prevention Day – very few people are having meaningful conversations about suicide and mental health. Here's why the conversation needs to change. Beyond Blue is 24/7 support for anxiety and depression, with free online support to talk to a counsellor.  Lifeline provides all Australians experiencing a personal crisis with access to crisis support and suicide prevention. If you or someone you know is struggling mentally contact Lifeline on 131114
