The government has published the first new strategy for suicide since 2012. The strategy sets out the government’s ambitions over the next five years to: reduce suicide rates; improve support for people who have self-harmed and improve support for people bereaved by suicide. The strategy was informed by the mental health call for evidence launched in 2022 and was developed to identify priority groups, suicide risk factors and steps needed to take by government and services. It includes steps and actions from across government and a wide range of organisations to achieve these ambitions.
