Welcome to your One Tree Australia
The feeling of hopelessness and not wanting to continue can be caused by family separation (often associated with false allegations of Domestic Violence, not seeing the children with the stresses often leading to job loss and homelessness and not seeing a pathway forward), bereavement (it’s just not worth going on without a former spouse and as isolation takes hold) and many other root causes. There are many specialist community groups out there that deal with these root causes of situational distress #situationaldistress.
Suicide is often referred to as complex but in reality, the majority could be traced down to one or several root causes. The major focus by lobbyists however has been from the Mental Health sector and reports vary from 35% to 90% that mental health is a contributing factor.
One tree seeks to focus on:
- The root causes of Situational Distress that if left unattended lead to mental health issues and suicide.
- Share best practices amongst organisations
- Ensure community organisation have basic training while retaining their community focus
- Share best practice across volunteer organisations
- Assist organisations in networking and referral streams
Our logo represents the branches of suicide reduction which share a solid and common trunk representing shared knowledge and cooperation.
