There are over 4,000 suicides per year by men in the UK. Over 1,100/yr are by male patients. Recent years have shown an increase too. See our Annual Report including links to key messages, videos and summary manchester.ac.uk/ncish/repor… #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #WSPD2022
According to UK research, summer sunlight can trigger a seasonal rise in suicides. Be aware of how people you love are feeling at this time of year. Reach out and get the support to save a life.
