Hosting conversations

Talking about suicide can raise all sorts of feelings and if not handled well could upset or isolate some individuals. It’s also important to observe people’s reactions to make sure they are safe.

If you are planning to host a conversation with your friends or community about suicide, you may wish to use our conversation questions.

Everymind has created the Conversations Matter resources which can help you to plan and prepare for your conversation.

These resources will assist you to talk about suicide in ways that break down stigma and increases understanding and support for the community.

You can share your findings with us via:

• email wellbeingsa.suicideprevention@sa.gov.au
• post to Wellbeing SA, PO Box 189, Rundle Mall SA 5000
• telephone 1800 955 709 (Monday to Friday, 10.00 am-4.00 pm)

If you would like support to facilitate conversations with your community, get in touch with us at wellbeingsa.suicideprevention@sa.gov.au.
