Did you know?

• Su***de is one of the leading causes of death for men under the age of 50 in the UK
• Promoting healthy role models, respect and equality benefits everyone

Today shines a light on those forever changed by losing someone to su***de.

In the UK, around 6,000 people die by su***de every year – and research shows that around 147 people are affected by every single loss. The grief is deep, complex and long-lasting.
