Passionate about better understanding the experience of suicide and distress to better support people and inform service development. Views are my own.

Just putting it out there that I am not active on this platform. It just doesn't fit with my needs. If you're interested in following me, you'll find me on LinkedIn https://t.co/unuMODDjjt

@PetaMarks @Manna_Inst @aedrtc Thanks so much for chatting with me Peta. So many synergies and opportunities. looking forward to exploring them

Prof Tom Calma - recognised tonight as a UniSA honoury doctorate - says over the past 65 years numerous Indigenous representative bodies have been created, but we are now at the cusp of significant change. The time is right for a Voice to parliament. #TheHawkeCentre #TheVoice

[UniSA (this account is no longer active) @UniversitySA]

Prof Tom Calma speaking tonight says the Voice is a once in a generation opportunity. While there are diverse opinions, it is the culmination of lengthy consultation and would be subject to usual parliamentary scrutiny and debate. #TheVoice #TheHawkeCentre

[Manna Institute @Manna_Inst]

Manna Director @MyfMaple has applauded the #federalbudget support for Aus's most vulnerable but stressed that preventative health & workforce development measures targeting rural & regional populations are urgently needed.

My pleasure to speak today with members of the Armidale community at the rotary lunch about suicide prevention and the stressors that can leave people vulnerable and isolated

Are you an #EarlyCareerResearcher focusing on #SuicidePrevention? We'd love to hear from you at the IASP 32nd World Congress. There's still time to submit your abstract for the Lightning Talks at the ECR Pre-Congress Workshop at #IASPPIRAN2023 👉 https://t.co/4gGRgVErEJ

Some people that are still at imminent risk of suicide, leave the hospital to be cared for at home by their partner.

Carers can be left to figure it out for themselves, without support.

@sarahlwayland + @MyfMaple share what can help:

Great to see this co-authored piece by @MyfMaple and I published today. We spoke to 100s of carers and found that telling people on discharge to do ‘suicide watch’ without explaining how that might be done (and for how long) increases distress for many #SuicidePrevention #carers

Thurs 11 May: Think Tank Member Prof Tom Calma AO together w/ Prof Marcia Langton AO will speak at this @TheHawkeCentre event. They'll share their perspectives & experiences to explore why the Voice is needed & how it will potentially function: https://t.co/gc2paxMtYj

A/Prof @sarahlwayland @Manna_Inst Research Fellow out and about today … workforces come in all shapes and sizes. Where services are limited (like regional Aus) working with those in community makes good sense

[Dr Sarah Wayland (she/her) @sarahlwayland]

Spent the day on the @HealthUNE stand at the @eastershow talking to people about strengthening the regional health workforce. Two big learnings 1) it was seniors day and I spoke to so many retired health workers who had great ideas about how to care for new grads and 2) cont’d…

I am riding the Tour de Rocks to raise funds for cancer. For rural people additional challenges in accessing support, affecting mental health and relationships, impacting treatments. Pls consider a donation https://t.co/JkeJzYm8Uo and thx to all those who have supported

[Dr Myfanwy Maple 🎗 @MyfMaple]

While clinical care is one part of the solution we need a biopsychosocial approach with multi-disciplinary teams working together supporting general practice, schools, youth programs who are in contact with young people across the spectrum of society

[Orygen @orygen_aus]

We have seen a surge in prescription drugs used to treat anxiety in young people. @PatMcGorry spoke to @theprojecttv on how this is linked to the number one health issue facing Australia. We need to ensure this generation of young people has access to the clinical care they need.

NSW regional trains only allow bicycles on them when they are pre-booked and boxed. This makes it impossible to use trains for regional bike based tourism, damaging regional economies. Please sign this petition to allow bikes on trains https://t.co/JK75Kgz6K2

[The Shovel @TheShovel]

The problem is no-one has explained The Voice to Peter Dutton in a way he can understand. Quite simply, it’s a dedicated body that exists to help shape government policy. Like News Corp, but for Indigenous Australians.

Engaging deeply with people with lived, living and learnt experiences of suicide is reshaping suicide prevention in Australia and across the globe. Our full report referred to in this article is available here: https://t.co/xU4260XZhf

""The voices of lived experience need to be heard, “not just as anecdotal ‘quasi-evidence’ but with the same epistemological value as the knowledge of academics and people in the mental health & suicide prevention workforce.”" - @MyfMaple
