What would you want to tell someone who might be going through a tough time? What advice would you give them?
We have reached an exciting point in the development of the Ripple Effect, with people from farming communities now being invited to provide input about their personal experiences of suicide.
We know that no one tells a story about life on the land—it's ups and it's downs—better than farmers themselves. We also know that people in farming communities are renowned for helping each other.
By sharing a story, you can help others learn and act to make positive changes for your own and other's health and wellbeing. We know that this kind of communication helps protect people’s wellbeing. Participation is anonymous, personalised, and with people who understand what life in a rural farming community is really like. All you need to do is fill in and return a Ripple Effect postcard.
To request a postcard (or several, if you know of others who would like to tell their story) visit www.therippleeffect.com.au, email alison.kennedy@wdhs.net or phone the National Centre for Farmer Health on (03) 5551 8533.
