About Standby Support After Suicide
The StandBy program is delivered by Youturn Limited in the Northern Territory. We are focused on supporting anyone who has been bereaved or impacted by suicide at any stage in their life, including:
Individuals, families and friends
Witnesses
First Responders
Service Providers
StandBy is accessible seven days a week, providing free face-to face and/or telephone support at a time and place that is best for each individual.
The program offers coordinated evidence-based support and resources (including connections to local services and groups) that is individualised for each person’s unique circumstance. This support is continued for up to two years to ensure those that engage with StandBy are not alone and receive ongoing support.
StandBy is guided by local advisory groups – which includes community stakeholders as well as those with lived experience.
StandBy builds community preparedness and resilience through extensive training to community and professional groups to ensure effectiveness and that duplicated effort is avoided. The program is also ideally placed to offer a settings-based approach, providing group support after a suicide for schools, workplaces and community groups.
