Suicide and its Link to Remoteness

September 27, 2016

Suicide rates increase with increases in remoteness; this means that East Gippsland and Wellington possibly experience some vulnerability to suicide relating to greater distance from main population centers.

Today, Lifeline Gippsland pauses to honour and remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of all those who have served in our armed forces.

Remembrance Day is a time to reflect on the impact of conflict, support our veterans, and stand together in gratitude for their dedication.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Lest we forget🌺

If you or someone you know needs to talk, you can call Lifeline 24/7 on 13 11 14, via text chat 0477 13 11 14, or visit https://www.lifeline.org.au/chat for our online chat service.
