First manual in suicide prevention for Indigenous communities available

This week, the first comprehensive national collection of resources to help prevent suicide in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities was launched by the Centre of Best Practice in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention at The University of Western Australia.

With concerning statistics about suicide in Indigenous communities, the manual’s aim is to collect resources and have them available for First Nations communities across Australia.

If you or someone you know is affected by the content of the story, help is always available. Contact Lifeline on 13 11 14
