Archie's younger brother, Sebastian, died by suicide at only 21 years old.
On World Suicide Prevention Day, Wednesday 10 September, we will come together to remember those who have died by suicide, and show our commitment to preventing future deaths by suicide.
Will you help us ensure no Australian faces their toughest moments alone?
After his younger brother Sebastian died by suicide, Archie had a realisation.
"By sharing my experience, I thought I could potentially stop this from happening again,” Archie explains. “I found that I just got an enormous response, with people reaching out from all different walks of life who had been struggling with the same thing.”
That's exactly what Lifeline is trying to achieve today, and every day, by reducing stigma around suicide - and ensuring support is always available.
When we stand together, we can offer connection and hope for everyone in crisis.
