Description
A new strategy intended to reduce the suicide rate and improve support for those affected by suicide. The strategy sets out key areas for action; states what government departments will do to contribute; and brings together knowledge about groups at higher risk, effective interventions and resources to support local action. It is based upon two foundational goals: a reduction in the suicide rate in the general population in England; and better support for those bereaved or affected by suicide.Content
