Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and it’s an opportunity to breaking down the stigma surrounding talking about mental health, including suicidal thoughts.
Over 5,600 people committed suicide in England in 2023, equivalent to over 11 suicides per 100,000 people.
In fact, for both males and females aged 5-34, intentional self-harm is the highest cause of death.
Behind every one of these statistics is a person. A life. A tragedy.
Research indicates that mental health conditions such as depression, psychosis and substance use are associated with an increased risk of suicide.
