Background:
Death by suicide is devastating and far reaching across our communities. It takes 3 times more lives per year in the UK than lives lost in accidents on all our roads. The most recent data tells us that over 6000 people died in the UK by suicide in one year. That means that every day, 16 people take their own lives in the UK.
But we can have an impact on this devastating act through learning skills to support a person with suicidal thoughts to consider life as an achievable plan.
