3 Minutes to Save a Life
Tuesday 26th September 2017 12:30-4pm Room: MU307
September marks the month that we embrace World Suicide Prevention Day. The University of Wolverhampton is honoured to welcome Professor Julie Cerel, Dr Alys Cole-King and Steve Gilbert to share their insights and expertise around suicide prevention. This event also invites an opportunity for the University to share their suicide prevention journey which has gained national acclaim for its innovation and impact.
800,000 people die by suicide annually, representing 1 person every 40 seconds
For every 1 suicide 25 people make a suicide attempt
60 people are affected by each suicide death
This equates to 48 million people bereaved by suicide worldwide every year
Since the 2014 WHO Global Report Preventing Suicide, progress in suicide prevention is ongoing, particularly in countries where no suicide initiatives were active, such as Guyana, Suriname and Bhutan.
Many countries have initiated their 2nd national suicide prevention programme, including: Scotland, England, Ireland and the United States
