The latest ABS data shows that suicide remains the leading cause of death for Australians aged between 15 and 44. R U OK? Day aims to change that by making it easier for people to talk about what is bothering them and get the help they need – and reduce the 2,400 suicide deaths in Australia each year.
If you need help 24/7 Crisis Counselling is available by calling Lifeline on 13 11 14 or the Suicide Call Back Service on 1300 659 467.
