WHAT IS A SUICIDE SAFER COMMUNITY AND HOW DO WE GET THERE?

Suicide Safer Communities is a suicide prevention organisation based in Australia with partnerships and interests in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, India, Malaysia, Japan, Cambodia and the Philippines.

Suicide Safer Communities believes the responsibility for suicide prevention rests with individuals, organisations, professional groups and services across the community and that suicide prevention/intervention/post-vention should be provided in a coordinated, holistic and integrated way according to the needs of the individual and community.

Suicide Safer Communities is dedicated to creating ‘suicide safer’ environments in all spheres of the communities through education and the implementation of a guiding whole-of-community framework that empowers any type of community to design and implement its own suicide prevention strategy.
