The ten year strategy sets out a vision to reduce the number of suicides in Scotland while tackling underlying inequalities.

The Scottish Government and COSLA have published a 10-year suicide prevention strategy, ‘Creating Hope Together: Scotland’s Suicide Prevention Strategy 2022-32’ (this link will take you away from our website).

The strategy sets out a vision to reduce the number of suicides in Scotland while tackling underlying social issues that can cause people to feel suicidal, such as poverty, debt and addiction.

The strategy is based on seven guiding principles, including commitments to inequalities and diversity, co-developing work with people with lived experience, and providing opportunities for cross-sector working. The outcomes set out in the strategy aim to promote community awareness, protective environments and access to the right support.

Alongside the strategy, a three year action plan for 2022-25 (this link will take you away from our website) has been published setting out initial work to achieve these.
