Choose Life - Suicide Prevention

 
 
Suicide Prevention is Everyone's Business

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.
