Campaign for suicide prevention and education

Additional Information

Suicide rates have increased in this country, In 2011, the number of men and women under 30 in the UK who killed themselves hit a nine year high

This is directed at the Minster of Care & Support, Norman Lamb, to address and put in measures to help support and educate suicide prevention.

One death is too many, yet there is no awareness, no campaigns. In most instances something could have been done to stop someone ending their life.

To quote Mr Lamb

Mr Lamb said: "We have a complete responsibility to reduce the number of people taking their own lives.

"One suicide is one too many. It's this awful sense of the torment they must go through which means we have to give this a high priority."

It remains the biggest single killer of men in the 15 to 29 year old age bracket.

Let us hold him to his word.
