Let's Talk: Join a live Q&A on suicide prevention, Wednesday, December 9 at 1pm.

By the end of this year, suicide will have touched the lives of up to 34,000 South Australians, according to trend data and international research.

There were 251 South Australian deaths by suicide in 2019 – up 40 from the previous year. Numbers for 2020 were expected to be higher because of the mental-health effects of COVID-19.

This week the Sunday Mail and Advertiser Let’s Talk campaign is calling for a change in suicide conversations and a focus on those left behind, in addition to helping those at risk.

Watch a replay of a live Q&A discussion on this important subject with Jill Chapman, founder of the charity Minimisation of Suicide Harm (MOSH), and Michael Traynor, suicide prevention and grief support manager at Anglicare SA.
