A new program for people who have attempted suicide

More than 3,000 Australians take their lives each year and a further 65,000 attempt suicide. A suicide aftercare service developed by Beyond Blue is helping to restore a sense of hope and belonging for people recovering after a suicidal crisis.

Early evaluation findings show that measures of suicidality decreased 63% and psychological distress decreased 30% among those who participated in Beyond Blue’s The Way Back Service.

Beyond Blue’s CEO Georgie Harman tells us how the service supports people who have been discharged from hospital after a suicide attempt with personalised, practical, one-on-one assistance in the community. The program has helped more than 15,000 Australians in the wake of their suicide attempt.

If you need to talk to someone, call Lifeline on 13 11 14, Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 or the new help line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders 13 YARN (13 92 76)
