Have your say on youth suicide prevention in Tasmania
23 Aug 2022
The Tasmanian Government is developing the next Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Strategy. They want to hear from young people (aged 12-25), their parents/carers, and anyone who works with young Tasmanians about how we can prevent youth suicide and distress.
The Tasmanian Government have launched a survey to learn about how and where young people seek support and what they think we should do about youth suicide.
The survey is an opportunity for young people to tell the Tasmanian Government what they think is and isn’t working when it comes to providing support for those who are struggling in their communities. Their ideas will help shape a five-year vision for preventing suicide in our State.
For more information and to have your say, visit Tasmanian Suicide Prevention Strategy Project | Department of Health, Tasmania. HERE
Survey closes Monday 26 September 2022.
