Conversations Matter when holding group discussions about suicide prevention

I want to talk about the issues of suicide and the prevention of suicide in my community. What do I say? What do I do?

Suicide is a mostly preventable cause of death and an important issue for communities to engage with. It is important to ensure discussions are helpful, based on accurate information and likely to lead to people feeling more empowered.

This resource provides a basic summary of issues to consider when talking broadly about the issue of suicide and suicide prevention in a group setting.
