It's been over 4 years since we lost Stuart to suicide in the ADF – and now I've heard the ADF are preparing to release a new mental health policy. This could be big news, but I'm worried family notification of suicide attempts won't be included. I'll be speaking with someone from the ADF soon. But I need your help too. We need Defence Minister Marise Payne to speak up right now – please can you email the Minister asking her to ensure families are notified of self-harm in the new policy? minister@defence.gov.au This petition started with a great wave of your support from across the country; all ages, service people, ex-service people, young people and other grieving parents (xoxo). 90,000 people have signed this petition. I'm begging politicians and the ADF to end this - and take suicide of ADF personnel out of the 'too hard' basket. Thank you, Mark.
