Talking About Suicide - A Very Interesting Document From Simon Tatz

https://www.pc.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/390513/sub001-mental-health-review.pdf

I thought this document makes for some very interesting (and thought-provoking) reading about how suicide is discussed (and how it is not discussed) under Australia's currant suicide prevention regime.

It is submission #1 of the Productivity Commission's Inquiry into The National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Agreement.

I haven't had much opprotunity to read the other submissions, or other documentation relating to this inquiry, including it's recently published interim report, but I'm sure there's a lot of other really important stuff in there.

Food for thought, I hope.
