This conference focuses on the important issues of Suicide Prevention.
“We must treat suicides with the same urgency that we treat any other major killer and take determined action that reflects the changes and progress that we all want to see in society.”
“The NHS Five Year Forward View for Mental Health was published in February 2016 and set out the start of a ten year journey for the transformation of mental health services. It included a commitment to reduce the rate of suicides in England by 10% by 2020 (compared to 2015 levels). Whilst the NHS Long Term Plan (January 2019) suggested this target would be met, the rate of suicides in England in 2020 was almost the same as the 2015 rate.”
“Each and every suicide is a tragedy, which causes devastating and permanent impacts on families, friends and broader communities.”
