The Ripple Effect: The Australian Suicide Story Every day in Australia, lives are lost to suicide — and the ripple impacts families, friends, first responders, and entire communities. This podcast goes beyond the headlines to uncover the truth behind our national suicide crisis. Through real stories, expert insights, and raw conversations, The Ripple Effect explores what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how we — as everyday people — can make a difference. You’ll learn how to support someone struggling with suicidal thoughts, even without formal training or qualifications. No fluff. Just real, honest tools and stories that matter. Because change starts with a conversation. If you or someone you know needs urgent support, call 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
