What is uMatter?

UMatterawareness

Each day in Australia on average 9 Australians die to suicide, 200 attempt daily (approx 65000 attempts per year) and each suicide will greatly effect atleast 125 people from first responders, family and others.

Suicide is a very heavy topic to speak about and may traditionally have a stigma, it’s best not to talk about or even an “ Ugly” topic, but we at UMatterawareness are compelled to gain every opportunity to shed more light. It’s ok not to be ok, but get help.

Vulnerable Groups We Support

It would seem there are groups of people more susceptible to mental health issues and suicide.

UMatterawareness will aim to gain greater awareness in :

  • Youth and young adults, (ages 15 – 24)
  • Veterans and Military Personnel
  • LGBTQ+ Community 
  • Indigenous populations
  • Men (especially ages 25 – 54)
  • People in rural or remote areas
  • The Elderly 
  • Survivors of Suicide Loss

In a country that is losing 9 people a day on average to suicide, 65,000 attempts per year and for every suicide it will affect at least 125 people.
