Conversations about suicide with individuals and in community settings can be an important way of increasing support and contributing to the wellbeing of those impacted.
When initiating a community or individual discussion about suicide in a culturally and linguistically diverse community, there are various risk factors and vulnerabilities to take into account that result from the diversity of cultures and variation within communities.
This resource provides some practical tips for organisations to refer to when talking about suicide with these communities. The following information is intended to supplement the existing Conversations Matter resources and has been designed for people working with communities in a range of settings.
This resource was developed in partnership with the Transcultural Mental Health Centre and the Mental Health Commission of New South Wales after consultation with multicultural community members and professionals.
