New suicide prevention plan
Our new Suicide Prevention Strategic Framework Implementation Plan 2023 -2028, Keeping Everyone Safe was released in conjunction with World Suicide Day, September 10.
The development of Keeping Everyone Safe has been overseen by NT Health, the NT Primary Health Network, National Indigenous Australians Agency and the Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance Northern Territory. It includes a three-pronged approach to reduce suicide in the NT including:
- building stronger communities to respond to and prevent suicidal behaviour
- delivering informed, inclusive services to meet the needs of Territorians
- providing focused and evidence-informed support for vulnerable Territorians.
Keeping Everyone Safe adopts a whole-of-government and whole-of-community approach, bringing together community leaders, clinicians, policy-makers and, importantly, those with lived experience of suicide and suicidal distress.
