The most comprehensive report examining suicide in Tasmania is a sobering read, but will help the state work towards zero deaths by suicide, Mental Health Minister Jeremy Rockliff says.

Tasmania's chief psychiatrist Dr Aaron Groves said it was important to get a deeper understanding of the factors at play.

"It's not necessarily a single factor that is a link between a person's distress and suicide, it's actually a very, very complex matter," Dr Groves said. "This report is very helpful for us as policy makers and planners — and people who deliver services — to better understand how to target that, and how we make sure that our services remain most relevant for the people who have the greatest amount of distress and who need our assistance when they need that assistance.

"To do this we need to know as much as we can about the stresses that people who've died by suicide are experiencing, and to use this knowledge to inform more targeted suicide prevention initiatives."

We are told me need to take responsibility for DV and I agree and women need to help address this issue too. Two way street ladies.

... but it affects women more. Because of the gender pay gap.

abchobart That's about the age that most men start having to work so hard to find & keep a sexual partner who they're attracted to, that life starts being barely worth living. I call them the sex-desert victims.

Says a lot about Tasmania

'men people'? Sounds like Chinese instructions on a pamphlet to me - more proof the CCP run ?

Is it men who die? Or are you telling only men 'people' die - wtf

Only that age bracket? Try again, ABC.
