World Su***de Prevention Day ๐ was established in 2003 by the International Association for Su***de Prevention in partnership with the World Health Organisation and takes place on 10th September.
This yearโs theme is a triennial and covers 2025 โ 2026 โCHANGING THE NARRATIVE ON SUICIDEโ
This theme calls on us all to challenge harmful myths, reduce stigma and foster open, compassionate conversations about su***de.
It is about shifting from silence and misunderstanding to openness, empathy, and support; creating environments where people feel able to speak up and seek help.
According to โThe World Health Organisationโ changing the narrative also means driving systemic change. It calls for su***de prevention and mental health to be a priority in public policy.
We are all urging governments and institutions to act.
This includes developing and implementing evidence based strategies, improving access to quality care, and ensuring that those in distress receive the support they need.
World Su***de Prevention Day focuses global attention on su***de prevention, uniting communities, organisations and governments
with the shared belief that su***des are preventable. ๐

OUR STORY
The first children and adult community-based counselling service.
Choices4Growth is a counselling service for the whole community and was formed in 2017.
The aim is to deliver a wraparound service providing support, signposting and counselling for better mental health and positive futures for the whole community.
1 in 4 people in the UK experience mental health issues. The North East has one of the highest su***de rates.
This was the deciding factor for Jacqui Davison to continue her work in Berwick and surrounding areas providing the much-needed support. Choices4Growth support many issues; depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, su***de ideation, loss and bereavement. We also work in schools in the area, supporting the whole community; children, parents, carers, teaching and non-teaching staff.
We were recently awarded funding from The National Lottery, the largest community funder in the UK, who are keen to support our work as they recognise the importance of the projectโs stability and the need to expand. In the past, Choices4Growth has also won the Berwick Asda Green Token Giving programme.
To all those who have supported Choices4Growth โ THANK YOU!
