To mark World Suicide Prevention Day 2021, Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London, called for 500,000 Londoners to complete the Zero Suicide Alliance’s free suicide awareness training so they can help play their part in saving lives. More than 250,000 Londoners have already accessed the training since the launch of a citywide campaign in 2019 by the Mayor of London.
“Suicide is a tragedy, for those who take their own life and for the loved ones they leave behind. It’s important that we break the stigma of talking about suicide so we can all play our part in helping those in need. That’s why I’m calling on Londoners to take this free online suicide prevention training. Together, by having more open and honest conversations we can support each other and move closer to achieving our ultimate ambition of becoming a zero-suicide city.”
