The ALLIANCE and Samaritans Scotland have welcomed the recent publication of the Scottish Government’s new Suicide Prevention Action Plan following figures released in June which showed that 680 people took their own life in Scotland in 2017.
The plan aims to reduce deaths by suicide in Scotland and ensure that support before, during and after a crisis is available.
Central to the creation of this plan were recommendations for change from people who had supported someone, lost someone or experienced suicidal thoughts or attempts themselves.
