What is STIQ Day?
STIQ Day is a national campaign aimed at raising awareness of the importance of mental health and suicide prevention among young people in Australia. The campaign was launched in response to the growing number of youth suicides in Australia, which currently stands at around three per day.
STIQ Day encourages young people to talk about their mental health and to seek help if they are feeling suicidal. The campaign also aims to educate adults about how to support young people dealing with mental health issues.
STIQ Day is held on the first Monday of every October. This year’s STIQ Day will be held on Monday 2nd October 2017.
