welcome to AfterBAGS Australia
A gift of compassion for those affected by suicide.
Suicide casts a ripple of devastation in it’s wake. The AfterBAG was created to provide a simple way to show support for those who are affected.
We work with people in the workplace & their communities to be alert to suicide.
A thoughtful, simple way to show your support to someone affected by suicide.

Suicide is an ongoing challenge in Australia.
We know that, on average, each suicide leaves 140 other people directly affected by suicide loss. With 3,280 people dying by suicide in Australia every year, 476,000 others are left to process the incomprehensible loss.
The Blame, Anger, Guilt and Sadness these people experience is significant, and sadly, it results in higher rates of suicide themselves.
The current state of suicide in Australia reflects a complex and multifaceted issue that demands attention and understanding.
