New Suicide Prevention Program to Support State’s Most Vulnerable
South Australia’s most vulnerable now have better access to support services thanks to a new pilot program to help survivors of attempted suicide.
Minister for Health and Wellbeing Stephen Wade said The Way Back Support Service, a Beyondblue initiative delivered in collaboration between AnglicareSA and Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN), provides one-on-one support to survivors after they leave hospital.
“We are committed to tackling our suicide rate through offering appropriate services to those who need support and ensuring that people at increased risk of suicide don’t fall through the gaps, Minister Wade said.
