Suicide Prevention Australia is a non-profit, community organisation, which supports individuals and organisations throughout Australia, and promotes collaboration and partnerships in suicide and self harm prevention, intervention, and postvention. Australia has one of the highest rates of suicide in the developed world. Statistically, men are four times more likely to take their own life then women. Many people bereaved by the suicide of a loved one are themselves at-risk of suicidal ideation.
Suicide prevention strategies of the recent past prove that preventative strategies work.
Youthline has been helping young New Zealanders and their families since 1970. They are the first point of entry for young people to access a wide range of youth development and support services. New Zealand has the highest rates of suicide in the OECD for youth aged 15 to 19 at 15.9 per 100,000 people – about double the rate of the United States and Australia – according to the OECD report on child well being 2010.
