Chatsafe Suicide Prevention Guides

The #chatsafe campaign was co-designed by Orygen and over 200 young people to provide advice on how to talk safely about suicide online. Suicide is a challenging topic at the best of times — but different communities may also have differing understandings of suicide and the nuances of the topic.

Orygen was searching for a multicultural communications agency with the unique insight needed to culturally adapt their campaign to multicultural youth communities in Australia. Ethnolink shared our expertise with Orygen to deliver exactly that.

Ethnolink’s Translation Strategists proposed a tailored solution, based on our extensive work with multilingual digital resources. Orygen provided us with their editorial style guidelines, which we applied throughout the translation process to ensure consistency and accessibility across languages.

Additionally, due to the sensitive nature of the material, we also took additional measures to recruit appropriate translators, reaching out to them to advise of the topic and ensure that our translators were not only confident but also comfortable with working with the documents.
