The Australian published an article on 03.12.05 about 'Toughin' it out', a new pamphlet aimed at people with suicidal thoughts. The pamphlet outlines ways to counter impulsivity and to buy time for the crisis to pass. According to research quoted in the article, 75 percent of people who attempt suicide thought about it for less than an hour, and after 24 hours 75 percent had lost the urge to take their own lives.
The balanced and constructive article, entitled 'Suicide prevention needs direction', was written by Jeni Harvie. It detailed other suicide prevention efforts and provided contact details of support services.
