World Suicide Prevention Day - practical advice from free factsheet

8 September 2023

A new guide has been published for World Suicide Prevention Day on 10 September, offering practical advice and links to organisations that can help.

Every year people and organisations come together for the day to raise awareness of how we can create a world where fewer people die by suicide.

World Suicide Prevention Day is as important as ever. According to the World Health Organisation 700,000 people die by suicide every year - and for every suicide there are many more people who attempt suicide.

The factsheet has been produced by Police Mutual, which provides financial services for serving or retired police officers, staff and their families. It includes signs to look out for that someone may be thinking about suicide, advice on how to help someone, and a list of organisations that offer support.

Download or read the factsheet.
