Understanding suicide and self-harm

University of Melbourne December 2022

Acknowledgment of Country

The National Suicide Prevention Office (NSPO) acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we live, work and learn.

Recognition of lived experience

The NSPO recognises the individual and collective contributions of those with lived and living experience of suicide. People who have survived suicide attempts, cared for a person in suicidal crisis or have lost a loved one to suicide demonstrate tremendous generosity through providing their expertise and insights. Every person’s journey is unique and a valued contribution to Australia’s commitment to suicide prevention system reform.
