The Case for a Male Suicide Action Plan in Tasmania

World Suicide Prevention Day Webinar

Tasmania has the highest rate of male suicide in Australia and is currently developing a new Suicide Prevention Strategy.

On the eve of World Suicide Prevention Day (Saturday 10 September), the Australian Men’s Health Forum and Men’s Resources Tasmania released a new report called “Time to act on male suicide in Tasmania”.

In this webinar, the case for the inclusion of a Male Suicide Action Plan was presented. 

Speakers included:

• Glen Poole, CEO, Australian Men’s Health Forum
• Jonathan Bedloe, Men’s Resources Tasmania
• Christopher Stone, Policy Manager, Suicide Prevention Australia

In this webinar we:

• Present the latest facts and figures on male suicide in Australia
• Explore the key risk factors that are linked to male suicide base on coroner’s reports
• Provide Tasmanian data that challenges the myth that suicide men “don’t get help”
