With suicide remaining one of the leading cause of death worldwide, the theme this year is clear: education and open conversation can save lives. With this in mind we are offering a series of resources designed to raise awareness and help break the silence around suicide. These can be accessed by anyone, and we encourage you to share with anyone you know that may benefit.

On Monday 8th September at 11:00am (BST), SEEDL will host a podcast, Breaking the Silence: Real Talk on Suicide Prevention. Anthony Price, Laura Avery-Jackson, and Becky Fussey will discuss warning signs, how to support others, and how workplaces can encourage open conversations. The episode will be available afterwards on all podcast platforms, just search SEEDL podcasts or join live via the SEEDL platform here.Sign up here: https://www.seedl.com/programme/mental-health/course/seedl-podcast

We will also explore suicide more deeply in our Mental First Aid Courses, delivered in two parts on the 10th & 11th September, full details can be found here.
