World Suicide Prevention Day is a global movement focusing on raising awareness of suicide, reducing stigma, and encouraging strategies and actions to prevent suicide.
The MHFA England have created a new workplace resource to help organisations become more suicide aware. MHFA England's five pillars of suicide prevention can help you put plans in place to support those having thoughts of suicide and those impacted by suicide.
The MHFA call for everyone to come together to reduce suicide. They're calling on workplaces to embed suicide awareness, prevention, and support into their mental health and wellbeing strategies.
Suicide is preventable through education and intervention. Their research shows that over 75% of employees do not know if suicide prevention is currently part of their organisation’s wellbeing strategy. This must change.
