Suicide prevention strategy to officially launch later this month

The Island's suicide prevention strategy will officially launch at the end of the month.

It's set to take place at the Keyll Daree Lecture Room on Thursday, March 30 at 5pm.

Key members of the suicide prevention committee will be giving a presentation to explain the logic behind the strategy.

This will be followed by a Q&A and the opportunity to interview members of the committee. 

The strategy - which was announced earlier this month - outlines the ambition of 'zero suicides' on Island. 

It's been cited from 2006 to 2021, 156 people took their own lives on Island.
