LiFe Award and World Suicide Prevention Day Information Pack
This year SPA is encouraging local communities, the States and Territories to become involved and to host a WSPD event or activity. The ways to celebrate are limited only by your imagination. Activities do not need to be costly or complex, but rather provide an opportunity to raise awareness, to share information and generate a broader understanding of what we can do as individuals to make a difference.
We have prepared an information kit on developing your own WSPD event, which can be downloaded below.

Sydney Statement from the National Forum on Men and Suicide
The Sydney Statement of the National Forum on Men & Suicide has now been published.
"We affirm that male suicide is one of the great tragedies of Australia today. Every day, five men end their life through suicide in this country. Of the 2,100 suicides annually, 80% are male. Almost 50% of suicides annually are males aged 25-44 years. Despite the National Suicide Prevention Strategy, male suicide rates continue to rise in remote areas. In many rural and remote indigenous communities rates are extremely high. This situation is utterly unacceptable and preventible."
