Where Have All The Young Men Gone? Gone to Grave, Every One.
Good afternoon and thank you all for showing such a vested interest in this very important Australian and global issueMy name is Sandra Moran and I represent Jaies Journey Inc.Firstly I would like to dispel some myths about suicide.1.It is NOT romantic.2.It is NOT a pleasant place to be inside of that deep and dark abyss.3. Although being inside that abyss feels like all hope is gone, please believe that there is ALWAYS hope.
Jaies Journey Inc. The Beginning.
Jaie's Journey Inc. was established as a charitable organisation in Queensland, after our family lost our youngest child Jaie Moran, to bipolar and ultimately suicide.
Only 2 days after his 22nd birthday.
Royal Flying Doctors research has also discovered that male suicide rates amongst men are:1.8 times and 2.9 times higher in remote and very remote areas (respectively) compared to men in major cities.
Jaies Journey Inc. IA55787About:To provide Prevention and Awareness for communities & Postvention support for victims of suicide and their families/friends/communities.Vision:A world where the word suicide can be openly spoken. Free of stigma and shame.Mission:To provide crisis intervention and referrals prior to or after an attempt of suicide or after a suicide.To provide relevant, practical support to those impacted by loss to suicide.To create a network across Australia of support services, for those in need.To provide communities information about local services in their area.
Where Have All the Young Men Gone?September 2016 - 2015 figures from the ABS are as follows: Suicide is again the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15-44The report released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) shows that 3,027 Australians died by suicide in 2015. This is an 5.4% increase from the previously reported 2014 figure of 2,864.Suicide death rates in the 15-17 age-group for males was 8.7 per 100,000 and 6.3 per 100,000 for females8.3 deaths to suicide in Australia, everyday. 6 out of every 8 suicides per day are male.Suicide was the second leading cause of death among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men with 110 deaths at a rate of 39.2 per 100,000 behind heart disease
Lived Experience of Suicide.Family and loved ones are left behind with these eternal questions:
WHY? Why didnt he/she? Why didnt I/they? Why didnt?What could I/they have done to prevent this?How can I/we survive this?Will I/we lose another to suicide now?How did it get to this?Didnt he/she know I loved him/her?Didnt he/she love us?
Hindsight is a cruel & merciless beast. These are by no means a complete list of the tormenting questions we are left with.When suicide first happens, your mind is unstoppable in its ability to tortureyou beyond your beliefs. We survivors are also now at a greater risk of dying by suicide as well.
Life (lies) of Depression
Love Sometimes Comes Like a Dream & LeavesLike a Nightmare
