It feels like a very

important event.

Yeah, it really is.

World Suicide Prevention Day.

It matters really because it does actually shine a light on an issue that's really often hidden and it reminds us that suicide is preventable and that help's available and that everybody can really make a difference by having that conversation and noticing when somebody might be struggling.

And I suppose as Director of Public Health in Sefton, I see suicide prevention as everybody's business.

Services have a really vital role, you know, in things like employers, schools, community organisations, and even families and friends.

How do we encourage them to get the help they need?
