Topic Tuesday// Suicide: You Can Talk About It// Tuesday 31st October 2023 5:30-7PM AEDT

On Tuesday 31st October, we’d like to invite you to join us to explore talking about suicide safely, caring for those living with chronic suicidality, and the importance of speaking out rather than suffering in silence, with a few of the SANE Team.

This discussion will likely be triggering for some as we talk about suicide. We strongly encourage you to take a moment to reflect if you are able to talk about this as you can always read through the discussion later. If you would like to participate, please take care of yourself first (including tapping out of the discussion if needed or reaching out for extra support) and be mindful of our guidelines, particularly around safety.

The event start times across Australia are below:

WA: 2:30pm
NT: 4:00pm

SA: 5:00pm

QLD: 4:30pm

NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS: 5:30pm

Want to receive a reminder on the night? Hit the 'Support' button below and we will tag you 30 minutes before the event starts.

Hope to see you there in the chat on the night!

@amber22 I lived and breathed my Wellness Recovery Action Plan for years and years. Last year i had a major trauma trigger and now nothing works and then since December been in burnout also. None of my wellness tools help anymore. I feel completely hopeless, helpless, despairing and demoralised.
People don't seem to understand that there is a point where nothing helps and seem to just think people are lying about trying things and them not working or that they arent doing them properly. Like most wellness tools that help they help over long term so you need to do them consistently over long term to get any positive impact. But there are many people who get to a point where nothing seems to help.
