Sometimes people come to our website because they are looking for personal help.

If someone asked you right now if you are having thoughts of suicide, what would your honest answer be?

If your answer is 'yes', this is probably a very difficult time for you. You don't need to go through this alone. Help is available.

This website does not provide counselling. But you do have choices. There are several things you could do right now:

• Reach out to someone you trust and ask for help. Tell them honestly how you feel, including your thoughts of suicide.
• Call Lifeline on 13 11 14 (within Australia). Our telephone counsellors are trained in crisis support and suicide prevention and may provide support and information.
• If you are under 18 years of age call Kid’s Helpline on 1800 55 1800 (within Australia).
• Look up your local crisis support centre in your phone book.
• Contact your local GP.

You are not alone – there is help available
Thoughts of suicide occur to many people and for a range of reasons. The most important thing to remember is that help is available. Talking to someone is a good place to start, even though it may seem difficult. Tell someone today!
