World Suicide Prevention Day is on 10 September. It is an opportunity to raise awareness of suicide and the steps we can take to prevent it and help reduce the stigma surrounding it.
Each week, approximately 115 people die by suicide in the UK. Research has found that as many as 10% of suicides each year could be work-related (Office for National Statistics, Hazards campaign).
We believe that suicide is preventable through education and intervention.
That’s why we are calling on workplaces to embed suicide awareness, prevention, and support into their mental health and wellbeing strategies.
