When someone is suicidal, those who are close to the distressed person do not know what to do and often feel paralysed - because they are not sure what is the right thing to say

While you as the health professional are nervous when someone is suicidal, family and friends are terrified! This puts quite a burden back onto you.

The Australian Suicide Prevention Foundation has developed a world-first innovation - a website that gives family and friends the effective words and phrases they can say when dealing with someone who is suicidal

Find out more by visiting the website and giving those closest to the patient access to this important resource In Tough Times Text
