Suicide doesn’t end the chances of life getting worse, it eliminates the possibility of it ever getting any better.

This Armed Forces Suicide Prevention Strategy provides the strategic framework within which Defence will take further action to reduce suicide and better support those affected by it. The supporting Action Plan provides details of how this will be delivered.
