You Can Talk
The holiday period can be a particularly difficult time for many Australians. While it can be difficult to talk about suicide, research shows anyone can have a positive influence on a friend, family or work colleague they are worried about by starting a conversation and supporting them to seek help.
YouCanTalk is a national collaboration of leading Australian mental health organisations. It exists to encourage people in Australia to have a conversation with friends, family members or work colleagues they’re concerned about. For more information visit: www.lifeinmindaustralia.com.au/youcantalk.
