Suicide is everyone's business. MATES is a charity established in 2008 to reduce the high level of suicide among Australian construction workers. MATES provides suicide prevention through community development programs on sites, and by supporting workers in need through case management and a 24/7 help line. We serve the construction industry in Queensland and Northern Territory, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia, the Energy industry in Queensland and New South Wales, and nationally to the Mining industry. MATES was established in response to a major report on suicide (the ‘AISRAP Report’) within the Queensland Commercial Building and Construction Industry. This report found that suicide rates in the industry were higher than the Australian average for men, and that youth suicide within the industry could be as much as 2.38 times more common than among other young Australian men. The MATES program is based on the simple idea that suicide is everyone’s business. If the building and construction industry in Australia is to improve the mental health and well-being of workers and reduce suicide, then it cannot be left to mental health professionals: everyone in the industry must play their part. Working for the construction industry in general, MATES is independent of employers and unions and never works directly for an employer. Programs are delivered across the industry regardless of employer or union affiliation.

OtherHalf – Chinese Stem Cell Initiative is proud to be working in partnership with Canadian Blood Services’ stem cell program, OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network, in educating the Chinese community about the urgent need for more stem cell donors in Canada’s stem cell network. Out of over 18 million registered donors in the Bone Marrow Donors Worldwide (BMDW) database, only about 500,000 are of Chinese origin. That is why it is very difficult for Chinese patients to find unrelated stem cell donors for transplants. A patient’s best chance of finding a stem cell donor is within his/her own ethnic group. For many patients, stem cell transplants are their only hope for survival. Stem cell transplants are used to treat potentially life-threatening illnesses including blood cancers (leukemia, lymphoma & myeloma), aplastic anemia, immune dysfunctions, and genetic and metabolic disorders.
