The government doesn’t care. They don’t post suicide stats on the news each day so they don’t care.
Most workplaces don’t care even when they put up posters everywhere. Their main concern would be how business will be negatively affected if you don’t show up tomorrow.
So yes check on your family. No one else will.

Interesting as I'm part of "Beyond Blue" and most suicide posts deleted and directed to Lifeline.
The numbers are much (much) higher than what the public know.
I know that resource is there. I want support not a number I already have.
You are right. Many don't care so even more reason to make a greater effort in future (imo)
