Family and friends supporting someone who has attempted suicide
Do you support someone who has attempted suicide?
Family and friends play an important role in supporting the estimated 65,000 Australians who attempt suicide each year. This support role is often fulfilling, but it can also be challenging and stressful.
What is Everymind doing to help?
We have developed this free online program specifically for family and friends supporting someone who has attempted suicide. This short, self-paced program aims to build your skills, knowledge and confidence to support your family member or friend.
This program is for family and friends who are:

- Comfortable communicating in English
- Comfortable using web-based programs.
Let's hear from Minds Together participants
“It helped me to think more about my mental health and break down some of the taboo about asking for help or stepping back sometimes.”
“It’s given me more insight and confidence in how to communicate and also make sure I try and look after myself.”
“It truly helped me identify themes and crisis points and gave me strategies to help in the lead up and during times of crisis.”
