Trigger Warning- Youth Su***de

My son Ethan had someone reach out to him via social media expressing thoughts of su***de. With su***de being the leading cause of death for young people 12-25, and the increasing presence of online activity, young people are at the frontlines of seeing their friends in distress.

After sharing my concern of the distress this caused both of us at the Imagined Futures Youth Initiative meeting I Chair, collectively we decided to explore what we could do.

Exploring what young people need to give them the confidence to respond to a friend safely, ultimately led to the co-design of the RightByYou website. Alongside the Youth Project Steering Committee and youth consultations, the website is a development of what young people want to be able to access when they need help to be able to help their friends.

RBY is a web tool designed by and for young people (12-25) to inform and empower other young Australians to reach out and support a friend showing suicidal concerns online. By promoting Australia’s leading evidence-based youth su***de prevention resources within one accessible platform, the website aims to build young people’s confidence in identifying warning signs, initiating important conversations, and referring friends to help. There are also resources for parents, teachers sport coaches etc as well.

Everybody has a role to play in the well-being of our young people. The website is not a final solution to informing young people, but it’s there if they feel they need some instant trustable information.

Make sure you check out the website - and to help spread the message, you can find the “Community Campaign Toolkit” on the About page 😊
