WELCOME!

We are pleased you will participate in the 3rd International Summit of Zero Suicide in Sydney, Australia Monday and Tuesday, February 27 – 28, 2017, in conjunction with the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership (IIMHL) Exchange.

As with many countries participating in the summit, suicide is a leading cause of premature death within Australia. In 2015 the ABS reported 3,027 suicide deaths – accounting for 20% of premature deaths across the nation, suicide is the highest single contributor to ‘potential years of life’ lost in this country.

While the number of suicide deaths continues to rise in Australia, the international community has seen dramatic results in suicide prevention within healthcare. We believe a focus on Zero Suicide in Healthcare is a necessary addition to other suicide prevention strategies. The US based Henry Ford Healthcare System ‘Perfect Depression Care’ program and its 75% reduction in suicide deaths in under 5 years – continues to inspire an international dream.

Suicide Prevention Australia is looking to launch a 5 year pilot of Zero Suicide across a number of sites. Let’s join together and continue the worldwide networking and learning as we pursue this audacious dream together.

Jan Mokkenstorm’s aim is simple and clear: he wants to help change and improve (mental) health care so that no one dies desperate and alone by suicide.

By providing excellent mental health care, where patients can talk about suicidality. By building strong, flexible and reliable networks between (and within) health care organizations, welfare, housing, financial and educational organizations. By 113Online, that provides suicidal online help 7X24, anonymous, confidential and free of charge.

By research, finding new ways to understand and influence suicide; and to understand what helps to implement treatments we already know save lives. By caring, connected and inclusive society where individual choices and freedom are respected, but no one is left alone feeling isolated and burdensome.

As a director, as a doctor and a therapist; as a policy maker, a writer, a lecturer and as a researcher, Dr. Mokkenstorm feels privileged to work on all of this, made possible by the 113Online Foundation, funded by the Dutch Ministry Of Healthcare, Welfare and Sports; by GGZinGeest and by the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Paul Yip is the founding director of the Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention at the University of Hong Kong, and a professor at the university's Department of Social Work and Social Administration. His interests include suicide prevention, population health and poverty research.

He serves as secretary general of the Asian Population Association and research chair of the Family Planning Association. He was a member of the Central Policy Unit and a member of the Hong Kong government's Steering Committee on Population Policy.

Professor Yip has done innovative suicide prevention work in restricting means of charcoal in a community-based exploratory study and is a pioneer in developing sophisticated surveillance system in monitoring and estimating suicide rate. In September, 2016, he authored an article in the South China Times, “The world should aim high, and seek to eliminate suicide,” in which he said the successful eradication of smallpox and other ambitious health care goals should inspire us to do more.

Sue Murray has been a passionate advocate for improving the health and well-being of the community throughout her career, and brings tremendous experience as Chief Executive for Suicide Prevention Australia (SPA). Her roles at the NSW Cancer Council set the stage for leadership with the AMA (NSW) and Leukaemia (NSW). She moved to a leadership role with the National Breast Cancer Foundation in 2000.

During the 10 years Sue led the NBCF she positioned the organization as one of the most highly recognized organizations in the community sector. This brought significant

growth in the number of companies and individuals choosing to support breast cancer research. It also enabled the NBCF to publish Australia’s first ever National Action Plan for Breast Cancer Research and Funding which has changed the way breast cancer research is supported and managed in Australia.

Using her experience with NBCF Sue moved to the George Institute for Global Health to support fundraising for their research into the prevention of chronic disease and injury particularly in disadvantaged populations across Australia, India, China and the United Kingdom. Sue is the Chair of Macquarie Community College; a director of Research Australia; a member of the Sydney Advisory Committee for the Centre for Social Impact; and a member of Chief Executive Women.

committed to Zero Suicide in Health and Behavioral Health Care in Oxford, England, in 2014, as well as the second gathering in Atlanta in 2015.

“We want to see no one in our care taken by their own hand, and we are grateful, at Centerstone, to be involved with the Zero Suicide in Health and Behavioral Health Care initiative,” said Stoll. The program was launched in 2013 and featured in US News and World Report (“Strides in Suicide Prevention,” June 5, 2015).

Dr. Kathryn Turner is Clinical Director Gold Coast Mental Health & Specialist Services. She says 'Our Journey to Zero' is about reducing the incidence of suicide and its devastating impact on everyone it touches. The Suicide Prevention Strategy recently launched by our Mental Health and Specialist Services is based on a model working successfully in the US and is a first for a major Australian health service.

“To actually achieve zero suicides is an aspirational goal, but this is about taking the journey and changing the mindset to prevent suicide.”
