Overview
Suicide is a major public health concern which has affected thousands of Australians. The most recent 'causes of death' publication from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released on 26th September 2018 shows that 3,128 people died from suicide in 2017, which is a 9.1% increase over last year.
In 2017, suicide was ranked as the 13th leading cause of death in Australia, moving up from 15th position in 2016. Suicide was the leading cause of death among people aged 15 to 44 years. In those people aged 15-24, suicide accounted for 36% of deaths.
Adolescence and early adulthood is a time of constant physical and emotional change. It can be an extremely vulnerable period for those at risk of suicide and serious self-harm.
Suicide is a multi-layered and complex issue. Its prevention has been a debated topic for many years. This presentation will address the following areas:
• Some of the myths and facts of suicide
• Recent statistics about suicide
• The differences between suicide and self-harming behaviours
• Risk factors and protective factors in young people
• Warning signs of suicidal behaviour
• Who is at risk of suicide contagion
• How to engage young people
• What to do if you know someone feels suicidal
• A model of crisis intervention
• The role of schools in suicide prevention
• Where to go for help
Target Audience
Teachers, practitioners, clinicians, case/social workers and other professionals working with youth.
