What is World Suicide Prevention Day?
Every year organisations and communities around the world come together to raise awareness of how we can create a world where fewer people die by suicide.
World Suicide Prevention Suicide Day is always on 10th September.
In 2018, in the UK and Republic of Ireland, more than 6,800 people died of suicide. Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy.
And we know that suicide is preventable, it’s not inevitable.
But not being okay is still widely stigmatised. And governments can still make better, more ambitious plans to prevent suicide.
What do Samaritans do?
Every year we campaign with over 70 other suicide prevention and mental health groups under the National Suicide Prevention Alliance (NSPA).
Together, we ask governments in the UK and Ireland to make suicide prevention a priority, and help raise awareness about how we can each support each other better..
The National Suicide Prevention Alliance (NSPA) is a cross-sector, England-wide coalition working reduce suicide in England.
Samaritans is Co-chair of the NSPA and is proud to support its development, including by hosting the NSPA Secretariat. The NSPA plays an important cross-sector role and Samaritans is pleased to be one of its founding members.
About the NSPA
The NSPA want to get all parts of society working together to take action to reduce suicide and improve the support for those affected by suicide.
Reducing stigma: We want all parts of society talking about suicide and taking action to maintain good mental health, so that it is as normal as talking about and maintaining physical health.
Encouraging help-seeking: We want more people who are experiencing emotional distress to seek help before they become suicidal.
Providing the appropriate support: We want to ensure that when people in emotional distress seek help, they receive appropriate support from the people or organisations they approach and that they are offered appropriate options.
Reducing access to means: We want it to be harder for people experiencing severe emotional distress to have access to the means to take their own life.
Reducing the impact of suicide: We want to ensure that people affected by suicide get the support they need to cope with the impact on their life.
Improving data & evidence: We want there to be better official data about suicide in England and more evidence about effective suicide prevention. Those working in suicide prevention should find it easier to obtain this data and evidence.
Working together: We want organisations with an interest in suicide prevention collaborating with each other to make a bigger difference.
