Most people notice when something’s off with a friend, colleague, or student… but say nothing.
Not because they don’t care.
But because they don’t know what comes after the question.
The silence is costly:
- Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15–44.
- Men over 85 have the highest suicide rate of any group.
- Every day, 9 Australians die by suicide — and 65,000 attempt each year.
The good news? A single caring conversation can interrupt that spiral.
→ You don’t need the perfect words.
→ You don’t need to be a therapist.
→ You only need a simple, safe, 4-step approach anyone can use.
In our latest article, we break down exactly how to:
- Ask without feeling awkward
- Handle the “No, I’m not OK” moment
- Encourage action without pushing
- Follow up in a way that actually helps
