Charities raising awareness on World Suicide Prevention Day

Last month figures showed there were 792 probable suicide deaths in 2023, an increase of 4%.

For almost 800 families in Scotland, it’s a day that brings particular heartache.

World Suicide Prevention Day looks at ways of helping those in need, but is also a reminder to those who have lost a loved one.

But there is hope – the charities supporting people in communities believe there is a safe space to discuss the issue and raise awareness.
