Better Off With You.
A suicide prevention initiative by SANE Australia.

Better Off With You features real stories of people with experiences of suicidal thoughts and actions from two communities in Sydney and Northern Queensland.

Realising the people in your life are better off with you.

“The effect that suicide can have, it’s not just yourself, but it affects your immediate family, your friends group, your community, also emergency services. It’s like a ripple effect.”

Community members and organisations play a huge role in understanding the behaviours of local people and how to support each other in tough times.

Everyone can play a part in preventing suicide in their community. Some of the ways you can do this include:

Learning about suicide myths and facts

Educating yourself about support services available

Learn how to talk about suicide in a safe way
