World Su***de Prevention Day is fast approaching…

Su***de is a major public health problem with far-reaching social, emotional and economic consequences. It is estimated that there are currently more than 720,000 su***des per year worldwide, and we know that each su***de profoundly affects many more people. Su***de remains a critical global issue, affecting individuals and communities worldwide.

Changing the narrative on su***de aims to inspire individuals, communities, organisations, and governments to engage in open and honest discussions about su***de and suicidal behaviour. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of understanding and support.

We will be posting resources and information on the day, and there will be a range of activities and events occurring across Trafford during the Month of Hope.

A while back, we were visited by a film crew who were making a film for Greater Manchester Combined Authority, about Greater Manchester’s Strategy. The end result captures conversations with people from across the 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester about their reflections, hopes for the future and living a good life.

It was a pleasure to be part of this project representing Trafford and you may recognise a couple of faces and places!
