As Suicide Prevention Australia reminds us, World Suicide Prevention Day is a time to reflect, connect and recommit to preventing suicide and spreading hope.

Early access to mental health and addiction treatment can save lives, yet stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to people seeking help.
