Introduction

Let’s talk. We need to talk about suicide, we need to understand that it is a preventable and avoidable death and we need to know how we can all support someone who is at risk of suicide, to stay safe.

Suicide is a preventable death and that all of us can do something about it. We can all make a difference by reaching out and talking to someone we’re concerned about.

There’s an urgent need to talk about suicide openly in society and remove the myth and stigma surrounding it. It’s time to talk about suicide - it’s time to say ‘Let’s talk’.
