World Suicide Prevention Day<\/h1>

Each year on the 10th September World Suicide Prevention Day takes place. On this day, the No More Suicide Partnership takes time to remember all those lost to suicide and hosts an event to mark the day. This has been an opportunity to use the power of partnership working to raise awareness of suicide prevention and the valuable interventions which make a real difference.<\/p><\/div>
