Gone Too Soon

The federal government is backing recommendations in a report into youth suicide in the Northern Territory. The Gone Too Soon report, released by a select committee of NT politicians, found specialist police, youth workers and mental health staff were needed in at-risk areas to help stem the high rate of young people killing themselves.
Young people in the Northern Territory are 3.5 times more likely than the national average to commit suicide, with Aboriginal deaths accounting for 75 per cent of all child suicides between 2007 and 2011.
