Murrumbidgee Local Health District has produced a new booklet for people who are supporting a young person who is having thoughts of suicide. It was created in consultation with people with caring experience.

The booklet aims to help parents and carers to understand what a young person may be experiencing, how to talk about suicidal thoughts and how to help keep a young person safe.

The booklet is available from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and Emergency Departments in Murrumbidgee Local Health District; including from the Mental Health Emergency Consultation Service (MHECS) and Safeguards service.

If you have used the booklet to help you support a young person with thoughts of suicide, we would love to hear your feedback and whether the information was useful to you.

Your feedback will be used to update and improve future versions of the booklet so that it can be as useful as possible for those who read it.
