Our Stories is a collection of personal accounts from Switchboard’s network, on the intersection of LGBTIQA+ identities and suicide.

Centred on lived and living experience, these stories touch upon living with and supporting loved ones through suicidality, dealing with suicide bereavement and the diverse paths towards seeking support. Our storytellers use prose, poetry and other forms of expression to explore this topic, and their stories are shared here uncensored and unedited, honouring the raw and real emotions that come with this experience.  

Our Stories is regularly updated, so make sure to sign up to our newsletter here to get notified of a new one being uploaded. If you’d like to contribute your story, please get in touch at suicide.prevention@switchboard.org.au.
