Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, and the triennial theme for 2024-2026 is “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”. Each day, 9 Australians die by suicide and more than 150 attempt to take their own life. Today is about raising awareness about the importance of reducing stigma and encouraging open conversations to prevent suicide. The call to action is #StartTheConversation. Every chat, no matter how small, builds a more supportive and understanding society. Together, we can make a difference and prioritise suicide prevention, ensuring everyone gets the help they need.
