Links - Carers
In this section we aim to provide a comprehensive listing of credible organisations working in the field of suicide and self harm prevention and suicide bereavement support. However, as this information is gathered using volunteer services, we may have regrettably missed out on including some quality links. If you are aware of a link that is not currently listed or has updated details, please notify us by email at info@suicidepreventionaust.org or by calling +61 (0) 2 9568 3111.
Please see the Getting Help section for specific information and links if you are feeling suicidal, helping someone at risk of suicide, bereaved by suicide or moving forward after a suicide attempt.
