Community Broadcasting Suicide Prevention Project - January 2021

What's in this month's segments?

This month we find out about the crucial role friends, families and communities can play a in reducing a person’s distress, which in turn decreases the likelihood of a suicidal crisis, through using the Lifeline Care Kit.

We hear about research conducted by youth mental health organisation ReachOut which has found that a large number of young people living in regional, rural and remote areas of Australia are worried about their future.

We learn about Let’s Talk About Suicide, a podcast developed by radio station JOY 94.9 that provides support, conversation, and comfort to people affected by suicide.

We find out about the support offered by Kids Helpline, Australia’s only free, private and confidential 24/7 phone and online counselling service for young people aged 5 to 25.

And we learn about PANDA’s Mental Health Checklist for Expecting and New Parents, which has been designed to help people worried about feelings and alert them whether they should seek help.
