The Little Red Threat Book demonstrates how to respond when someone says they will take their own life unless another person does as they demand. It describes how such threats, which may feel manipulative or abusive, can result from trauma, including intergenerational trauma, grief, loss, and the experiences of poverty, racism and colonising policies and practices. It shows how those in a supporting role can create safe spaces without compromising their own safety or integrity. Source: Central Australia Life Promotion Network
