Better Off With You is a suicide prevention and recovery support initiative for the North Coast region, delivered by SANE Australia and commissioned by Healthy North Coast as part of the 2025-2026 Targeted Regional Initiatives for Suicide Prevention program.

Better Off With You isn’t a crisis service. If the person is at immediate risk of harm, direct them to call Triple Zero (000) or go to the nearest emergency department.

Lifeline (13 11 14), 13 YARN (13 92 76), and the Suicide Call Back Service (1300 659 467) are also available 24/7.
