💛 SEPTEMBER | SU***DE AWARENESS MONTH

September is Su***de Awareness Month, and for Dalkeith CFS, this one hits close to home.

Our brigade knows firsthand the heartbreak that su***de leaves behind.

We have lost one of our own — a firefighter, a good friend, a mate and a valued member of the Dalkeith CFS family.

That loss is a reminder that sometimes the people around us can be carrying battles we cannot see.

In emergency services, we’re accustomed to being the ones who show up when somebody needs help. But sometimes, we need someone to show up for us too.

So this September, check on your mates.

Don’t just ask, “How are you?”
Ask, “How are you going — really?”

Then give them the time and space to answer.

Listen without judgement. Stay connected. And if you’re the one struggling, please reach out. You don’t have to carry everything on your own.

“Carry each other’s burdens.” — Galatians 6:2

💛 This month, we remember those we’ve lost, stand beside those who are struggling, and remind everyone in our brigade and community:

You matter. Your life matters. Please stay.

📞 Lifeline — 13 11 14
📞 Su***de Call Back Service — 1300 659 467
🚨 Immediate danger — 000

Dalkeith CFS — looking after our community, and looking after each other.

❤️ **DID YOU KNOW?**

Women are less likely than men to receive CPR from a bystander during a cardiac arrest.

**Why?**

Research has identified several barriers that can make people hesitate to perform CPR on women, including:

👉 Fear of inappropriate touching
👉 Concerns about accusations of s*xual assault
👉 Hesitation around exposing or touching the chest
👉 Uncertainty about where to place their hands or AED pads

But when someone is **unresponsive and not breathing normally**, starting CPR quickly can save their life.

🚑 **A cardiac arrest is a life-threatening emergency.**

Don't let embarrassment or fear stop you from helping.

**CPR is performed the same way regardless of s*x — push hard, push fast, and use an AED as soon as one is available.**

❤️ **Every person deserves the same chance of survival.**

**Beyond Support & Training**
Practical training. Real-life scenarios. Skills that build confidence.

Did you know?
Women are less likely to receive CPR in the event of them having a Cardiac Arrest Than Men

And why is this?
People believe that if they start CPR on a woman who has breasts, they fear they will get sued for inappropriate touching, accusations of s*xual assault are a key deterrent, which is incorrect at the event of someone having a cardiac arrest, it is classed as implied consent unless appropriate paperwork is physically seen for a DNR.
