Almost every week one young Western Australian takes their own life.
It's a statistic we're familiar with: suicide is the leading cause of death for young people under the age of 25 in Western Australia. It's time to take action. Step up this Mental Health Week (9 to 16 October 2021) to show young people they are not alone. Together, we can save young lives.
