Suicide and Me

Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia attempts to take their own life. In Suicide and Me, three young suicide survivors confront the stigma by revealing why they attempted to kill themselves and how they found hope. We meet Bryan, a happy-go-lucky guy who coped with the fallout of his parents’ breakup through partying and drinking while putting on a brave face. Becks, a victim of child sexual abuse, was saved at her darkest moment by the kindness of Don Ritchie. And Chris, who after years of bullying fell into a deep depression and selfharming behaviours that culminated in the decision to end his own life. Paralleling these powerful stories is the story of two suicide hotline operators who work through the night to provide support to callers at their most desperate hour.
