HOPE DISCHARGE Personal Support Survey

St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne: HOPE Enhancement Project

Suicide affects everyone and we all have a part to play in suicide prevention.

It is recognised that substantial change is needed to improve current services for people in crisis and develop alternative supports to better meet people's needs. This survey will be looking at what you felt about the person you care for discharge from our mental health service.

Be assured, your opinion will make a difference and ideas will impact on the future design of our regional suicide prevention strategy.

If any of these questions trigger you at all support can be found through the HOPE Enhancement Project lived experience officer or other services such as Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636) and Lifeline (13 11 14).
