COMMUNITY SUICIDE PREVENTION ACTION PLANNING RESOURCE FOR GIPPSLAND

Suicide Prevention Priorities

Four priorities were collaboratively developed: 1. Services are inclusive and accessible, especially for people who are in most need. 2. Primary health workers (e.g., GP’s, Allied Health) support people and refer to appropriate services. 3. People with a lived experience of suicide are supported to tell their stories safely and contribute to building the community safety net. 4. Communication about suicide and accidental death is safe.
