It’s excellent to see so many organisations inspiring safe conversations around the issue of suicide. We’ve been recording a series of podcasts for Lifeline, Holding onto Hope, in which suicide survivors talk about what happened to make them feel so desperate and how they’ve found hope and a reason to stay.
It’s estimated that at least 60,000 Australians a year attempt suicide and everyone we’ve interviewed has said the same thing: “I didn’t want to die. I just wanted my pain to end.”
There is no single solution but there’s no doubt that equipping people to have the conversation can help.
