Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Strategy

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention Strategy is a government initiative aimed at reducing the high rates of suicide among Indigenous Australians. It focuses on culturally appropriate programs, community-led support, mental health services, and addressing social factors like trauma, unemployment, and discrimination. By collaborating with Indigenous communities and respecting cultural values, the strategy seeks to improve mental well-being, ensure timely access to support, and create a safer environment where Indigenous Australians feel connected, supported, and able to seek help when needed.
