New suicide prevention resources and support on SANE Forums

Hi Forumites,

We’re very happy to share our new-look Better Off With You website with you all.

🔗 https://betteroffwithyou.org.au

The website, which launched this morning, offers a wealth of information, resources and support for people managing thoughts of suicide and for family, friends and carers, including:

• Helpful strategies for people managing thoughts of suicide
• Practical guidance for support people
• Real stories of hope and recovery
• Partner resources and PDF downloads
• A directory of crisis, community and online support services

Better Off With You includes pathways into our Forums, so we may see some new members joining the community. We’d love you to give them a warm welcome.

We’ve also made some updates here on SANE Forums to make it easier to find the right support.

• We’ve added new PDF resources and links to Better Off With You and RecoveryClub to the Managing Thoughts of Suicide and Self-Harm space, giving members more ways to find support alongside connecting with others in the community.
• We’ve also launched a new Supporting Someone Through Suicidal Thoughts space, where family, friends and carers can also connect and find tailored resources and support.

There are new types of support available in RecoveryClub too!

RecoveryClub now includes a Safety Planning template and guide, resources about managing thoughts of suicide and supporting someone through suicidal thoughts, personalised 1:1 support sessions, and group sessions to support recovery.

We’d love you to explore the new resources and spaces and make use of the supports that feel right for you.

Warm regards,

The SANE Team
