The most comprehensive report examining suicide in Tasmania is a sobering read, but will help the state work towards zero deaths by suicide, Mental Health Minister Jeremy Rockliff says.

Tasmania's chief psychiatrist Dr Aaron Groves said it was important to get a deeper understanding of the factors at play.

"It's not necessarily a single factor that is a link between a person's distress and suicide, it's actually a very, very complex matter," Dr Groves said. "This report is very helpful for us as policy makers and planners — and people who deliver services — to better understand how to target that, and how we make sure that our services remain most relevant for the people who have the greatest amount of distress and who need our assistance when they need that assistance.

"To do this we need to know as much as we can about the stresses that people who've died by suicide are experiencing, and to use this knowledge to inform more targeted suicide prevention initiatives."

We are told me need to take responsibility for DV and I agree and women need to help address this issue too. Two way street ladies.

... but it affects women more. Because of the gender pay gap.

abchobart That's about the age that most men start having to work so hard to find & keep a sexual partner who they're attracted to, that life starts being barely worth living. I call them the sex-desert victims.

Says a lot about Tasmania

'men people'? Sounds like Chinese instructions on a pamphlet to me - more proof the CCP run ?

Is it men who die? Or are you telling only men 'people' die - wtf

Only that age bracket? Try again, ABC.

Women don't benefit from the budget 'nearly as much as men' | Sky News AustraliaJournalist Georgina Dent says women don’t benefit “nearly as much as men do” from the budget measures revealed on Tuesday by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg. \n\n“All of the early indicators are that men are disproportionately advantaged by all of the general budget measures, which is a function of the fact that men and women are certainly not on equal footing, certainly when it comes to employment and financial security,” she said. \n\n“We know that women don’t earn as much as men do.”\n\nMs Dent said there were many reasons women earn less than men, a number of which were structural.\n\nOne example was Australia’s lack of adequate investments in early education and care, she said. \n\n“When a country has got a really universally accessible high-quality early education and care, they have much more women participating more in the economy, and that means those women will earn more,” she said. \n\n“In Australia, because we have highly expensive childcare … a lot of women don’t work more than three days a week.”\n Stop your bitching. Women get a whole lot more support than men. Stop using the bloody gender card all the time when you can’t get what you want or it doesn’t go the way you want it. If you want something go and earn it. Dent should take a look at the make suicide rate which I note is 100% worse than female cohort. Feminazi idiot.

Young people in Victoria are being racially abused - but they aren't speaking up about itA new report has found 85 per cent of young Victorians from multicultural backgrounds have experienced direct racism during the coronavirus pandemic - but only six per cent have reported their experiences. That's odd as I have worked with/for hundreds of multicultural individuals (me being one) and perhaps 1% have had some type of stereotypical jibe.... Mostly in jest. Media is the real virus....hate hate hate. Together we can do anything. Lol I thought our PM etc. were so certain that Australia has no racism against Asians problem, like they repeatedly stated.
