There should be more funding for tailored and targeted funding for mental health and suicide prevention services. We know that there are higher suicide rates across the community. Such funding would be an investment, actually saving taxpayers in the longer term. Preventive measures are proven to be cheaper than the cost of care and treatment after the event. I prefer the humanitarian arguments, but in our society programs are measured in dollars and cents. Preventive measures address both the human cost and also the financial impost.
