This morning we attended the launch of Towards Zero Suicide, a Regional Suicide Prevention Care Pathway programme being rolled out in the South Eastern Health & Social Care Trust.

You Matter is now open for referrals, and for individuals to reach out. The programme has been designed to help prevent deaths by suicide among Veterans in Northern Ireland, and offers a range of support services and training opportunities.

Today the Office for Statistics Regulation posted their review of mental health statistics in Northern Ireland. The report highlights the need for consistent data collection across all mental health services, professional leadership across the health trusts, and improved data accessibility.
