JUDY SEFTON
Why did you decide to join the CASE committee?
Because of somebody who is close to me who is very close to suicide.
Why is a committee like CASE so important?
It is important because there is always a lot of suicides in small towns and we are hoping as a group to try and eliminate it.
What role do you play in the committee? Are you a point of contact for those at risk?
I help out whenever I can, I would like to help out more though. At the moment I’m not a point of contact.
How significant do you think it is to be able to ‘help a mate out’ and create suicide awareness in the community?
It is extremely important to try and help a mate out. At the moment I am keeping my mate alive. Rural communities and small towns need a group like this in their town because if they need someone to talk to, we are here.
What have you gained from your involvement so far?
A lot of knowledge about suicide, the warning signs and also meeting new people at the same time.
