State of Mind in partnership with Derbyshire NHS Trust and The Samaritans will have volunteers around the Pride Park stadium this afternoon to mark World Suicide Prevention Day
The World Health Organization estimates that over 800,000 people die by suicide each year – that’s one person every 40 seconds. Up to 25 times as many again make a suicide attempt. The tragic ripple effect means that there are many, many more people who have been bereaved by suicide or have been close to someone who has tried to take his or her own life. And this is happening in spite of the fact that suicide is preventable. ‘Connect, communicate, care’ is the theme of the 2016 World Suicide Prevention Day. These three words are at the heart of suicide prevention.
If you are at Pride park today come and say hello and we are extremely grateful to Derby County for showing their support at such a high profile fixture
