Important new suicide prevention resources
Date posted: 18/10/2021
As many of you will know, 10th September was World Suicide Prevention Day. We care passionately about reducing suffering and the risk of suicide by raising awareness of what causes mental health problems and the best ways to overcome them. Each year, we readily join forces with the many other worldwide organisations and communities to share essential information and promote ways we can work together to create a world where fewer people die by suicide.
You can find important new suicide prevention resources, including a brand NEW podcast recording, Our silent emergency – suicide, with Malcolm Hanson, on our resources page here. Please do share them with anyone you feel would find them useful.
