with funding from the Movember Foundation have developed a world-leading
smartphone app and website to help save lives when people feel hopeless and helpless. “The free BeyondNow app, which can be downloaded onto a smartphone, shows people how to create a plan to refer to when they are experiencing suicidal thoughts or are in a suicidal crisis,” Mr Kennett said.
