We are a community of people who find the stigma of talking about mental illness and suicidality have forced the conversation to be rather one-sided so that those suffering most are so discouraged by stigma that they tend to keep quiet for fear of being met with hurtful mockery or slander. We hope to provide a safe and inclusive platform for those of us who wish to tell their stories, raw and unfiltered, so that the rest of our fellow humans can better understand who we are, how we got here, and what could have been done to prevent hurt and tragedy, and most importantly, what society and lawmakers can do next to protect all Australians from suffering mental distress as best as possible.
