🧡Changing the Narrative on Su***de🧡
On 10th September, communities and organisations worldwide come together to mark World Su***de Prevention Day, reflecting on our shared goal of preventing su***de and spreading hope. This year, Griffith Medical Centre is proud to support this important initiative by wearing orange.

Led by the International Association for Su***de Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organisation, the theme ‘Changing the Narrative on Su***de’ encourages us to shift from silence and stigma to openness, empathy, and action. Together, we can ensure those who are struggling feel heard and supported.

In Australia, su***de is the leading cause of death among people aged 15–44, with over 3,000 lives lost each year and more than 55,000 attempts. Behind every statistic is a story.
