Important but difficult day for #suicideprevention with ONS confirming a rise in rates. We need govt action now - not just words of commitment but actions such as renewing vital local suicide prevention funding @DHSCgovuk @hmtreasury and every govt dept working to prevent suicide
Samaritans@samaritans
Today’s @ONS data shows that suicide rates registered in England and Wales last year were the highest in more than two decades. These figures show that suicide rates are at a 20-year high and even worse than expected. This needs to be a wake-up call for the Government.

@GregorWell @sogalo So sorry to hear this. He was a fierce advocate for public health and a leader in suicide prevention. I learnt a huge amount working with him. My sincere condolences.
English
Hello this is Nigel @sogalo , Gregor’s brother. It is with great sadness that I am sharing that Gregor died peacefully on Frida. He was an inspirational leader and champion for mental health. Much loved husband, father, grandfather and brother. Our hearts are💔

@Dee_Knipe You're probably working twice as hard so definitely worth celebrating! Xx

Good to see Labour & Lib dems include explicit mention of #SuicidePrevention in manifestos, w some key commitments in line w @samaritans policy asks. No mention of SP from Tories, despite commitment to reducing rates in the National Strategy <a yr ago. shorturl.at/Q3VCA

I had a miscarriage early last week.
Today I had a courtesy call for a scan I was due to have next Monday.
I fully support the NHS but simple admin surrounding baby loss seems like an easy (& crucial) fix….
Is it any wonder our mental health is unstable during this time?

@ProfLAppleby Congratulations! I hope you all had a wonderful day x

Massively important moment with long awaited new #suicideprevention strategy published today for England.
Well done to all involved. Some really important actions and commitments in it. Now we need further investment for delivery....

@katieghose Oh @katieghose so sorry. And thank you for your support xx

This is an important message about the value of acknowledging or asking someone about suicidal thoughts and feelings. At my sister's inquest we said that health agencies should support family members and friends to find the right language to use in conversation with loved ones.

A reminder this #WorldSuicidePreventionDay 👇 Take a moment to reach out to someone you care about. A simple question could save a life 💚

@JacSprad Thanks for all you do, Jacqui. You and your colleagues are doing vital work. Take good care of yourselves and know you are making a powerful difference to improve the conversations we have about suicide every day.
English
For many, working in #suicideprevention is personal & professional. Today, like every day, I'm thinking of loved ones lost and loved ones who've found a way through. A strong cross-govt strategy that's funded & drives action is essential to save lives #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
English
There's a lot of content around #suicideprevention today. Well worth a read of this blog by the fantastic new Exec Lead of @NSPA_UK.
National Suicide Prevention Alliance@NSPA_UK
Today we're kick-starting a conversation about what’s changed in suicide prevention and what more is still needed. Here, NSPA Executive Lead Rosemary Ellis shares her reflections and her pledge for the future. bit.ly/WSPDNSPAblog #WSPD

@CaanBerryTrader Recognising that gambling related harm can be a dominant factor in a suicide is really important for suicide prevention efforts. All parts of society can help prevent suicide, incl. the gambling industry.
English
@JacSprad Incorrect, the coroner said it was a "contributing factor" they did not say it was the cause. There's a very big difference. 63% of those with gambling disorder also have alcohol addiction issues, it doesn't mean alcohol killed them.
English
People with lived experience have led the way in raising the issue of gambling related harm and suicide. The gambling industry must change - glad to have taken a small but important stand about this today.
Samaritans@samaritans
Our words have been twisted by the CEO of the Betting and Gaming Council to downplay the devastating effect that gambling products can cause, and we won’t stand for it 🧵1/3
