Be kind to yourself

Taking care of you is important too!
If you notice your usual mood, behaviour or thoughts worsening, engage in things which recharge you like a hobby and talk to someone about how you feel.
Maintain healthy relationship boundaries when supporting others. While it is important that we all take personal responsibility to help, the person at risks’ past and response is not your responsibility.
All we can do is learn and apply how to detect and respond to suicide risk.
If someone you know makes an attempt to end their life or does end their life, seek support for yourself immediately from your GP, a mental health professional, supportive person in the community or www.standbysupport.com.au
