3 digit suicide prevention hotline


3 digit suicide prevention hotline
The issue
Nine Australians die everyday by suicide, and over 65,000 people make a suicide attempt each year.
When a person is in a crisis state of mind, they need quick and easy access to help. Yes we have multiple helplines available, but do you know their numbers off the top of your head?
Suicide survivors have explained that moments before an attempt, you are fighting with your own brain. “It does not let you access other ways of thinking”.
This is why a 3 digit suicide prevention hotline is needed. A simple and fast number that everyone can remember, no matter what state of mind.
If we have a simple 3 digit number, kids can also learn this number in school. Friends and family members can also rely on this for instant help for their loved ones.
Every second counts for those contemplating suicide, let's make access for them simple. Please sign and help show your support, so we can help those that struggle in silence.
