Taking Stock: Suicide prevention tool for Australia's farmers

Suicide rates among farmers in Australia is up to 94% higher than non-farmers. On average, one farmer dies by suicide every 10 days.

Taking Stock hosts multiple resources including films, interviews and podcasts of farmer experiences, information about how to set up a local suicide prevention group, and how to connect and engage with communities for early approaches to suicide prevention.

This online wellbeing and suicide prevention tool was designed by the University of South Australia in collaboration with three grassroots community groups - SOS Yorkes in South Australia, Riverina Bluebell in New South Wales, and Mellow in the Yellow (previously Live Rural) in Victoria - to capture local knowledge and lived experience.
