Perth and Kinross Health and Social Care Partnership will hold a series of events to mark Suicide Prevention Week from Monday 9th to Sunday 15th September 2019.

National Suicide Prevention Week aims to raise awareness of suicide, encourage people to talk about mental health and wellbeing openly and provide information about agencies that offer support.

The aim of 2019’s Suicide Prevention Week is “Working Together To Prevent Suicide” and aims to help and support communities to save lives.

Suicide can affect anyone regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, culture or previous mental health – it is vital to know how to offer an understanding ear and when to encourage people to go to for further help and support.
