Suicide Prevention Week 2008!
Suicide Prevention Week is a full week of events in the North Lanarkshire area designed to raises awareness and promote positive attitudes. Check out the links below for the current programme of exciting events!
Everyday around 2 people die from suicide in Scotland. In 2002, the Scottish Government launched Choose Life, a 10 year strategy and action plan to reduce suicide in Scotland. Choose Life sets a framework to ensure that action is taken nationally and locally to build skills, develop training, encourage people to seek help early, improve knowledge and awareness of what works to prevent suicide and encourage partnership working and improve co-ordination between services.
Visit the Choose Life website or contact the Lanarkshire Choose Life Co-ordinators for more information.
