Collection: Suicide Prevention Guide

Suicide can feel like a permanent solution to temporary pain, but help is always closer than it seems. This guide encourages you to reach out—to a trusted friend, a GP, a counsellor, or a 24/7 helpline—before thoughts turn into action. It outlines early warning signs (withdrawal, hopelessness, sudden mood shifts), immediate safety steps (remove means, call emergency services if needed), and ongoing supports like therapy, self-care routines, and community resources. In Australia, call Lifeline 13 11 14, Suicide Call Back Service 1300 659 467, or 000 in an emergency. You are not alone, and recovery is possible.
