On the Net
The internet is a fast and easy way to get information on a number
of topics. We have included some sites that could be useful to you or
someone you know.
A helping hand
www.helpingaustralia.com.au
About 2500 Australians die from suicide
each year. Many people find it difficult
to access relevant information and
advice and to talk about distressing
emotional issues. The Helping Australia
site was established by Consultant
Psychiatrist Dr David Horgan to allow
anonymous easy access to information
about depression and suicidal thoughts.
The site contains a general message of
emotional support and explanation as
well as various links to information on
depression, suicide prevention and help
for bereaved families and friends.
Dr Horgan encourages a pro-active
attitude. By becoming a sponsor, you
help support suicide and depression
prevention services Australia wide.
