Sock it to Suicide at South Steyne Medical Centre.

Suicide is one of Australia’s silent killers. In 2019 there were an estimated 3300 deaths due to suicide in Australia. This number is most likely an underestimate as suicide still carries a stigma and often goes underreported.

Unfortunately this stigma is part of why suicide is prevalent within our society. Sock it to Suicide day is an initiative that seeks to bring suicide out of the shadows in a safe and inclusive way.

South Steyne Medical Centre believes that everybody should feel safe and included, and that’s why we believe that this initiative is so important to support.

This week get your most colourful pair of socks on and show your true colours!
