Suicide rates are rising. Why isn’t anyone talking about it?

In the past year, we’ve seen a rise in suicide across Australia. However - outside of R U OK Day and World Suicide Prevention Day – very few people are having meaningful conversations about suicide and mental health. Here's why the conversation needs to change. Beyond Blue is 24/7 support for anxiety and depression, with free online support to talk to a counsellor.  Lifeline provides all Australians experiencing a personal crisis with access to crisis support and suicide prevention. If you or someone you know is struggling mentally contact Lifeline on 131114

In our latest season "Unsaid, Untold." Chantelle Ellem, also known as Fat Mum Slim, in collaboration with aged care and disability service provider Feros Care tell the stories no one else tells. Give space to the people who haven't previously been heard. Sometimes it's uncomfortable, sometimes it's controversial. But it's ALWAYS passionate, interesting and ready to unravel a fresh conversation, shifting the way we see diversity and inclusion in Australia.  In our first season "Grow Bold with Disability" brought to you by Feros Care we highlight the real stories of people living a bold life with disability. Hosted by writer, editor and disability advocate Tristram Peters and journalist Pete Timbs, this podcast is a space for people to share their stories and have open conversations around disability. Feros Care acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples as First Nations peoples and custodians of the oldest living culture. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community, and pay our respects to elders past and present.
