It is my strongest conviction that it should be mandatory for all people to learn about depression and suicide, to learn the warning signs and how to help. I have placed my name down for the ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) course run through LifeLine Australia and I encourage everyone else to do the same. My mother, a teacher herself, has already completed the course and could not talk it up enough.
Depression, Suicide and Mental Illness should be centre stage in our society - not at liberty to kill indiscriminately in the shadows.
