Aims and objectives
Our aims for suicide prevention in Lambeth are to:
- ensure all residents know where to get support,
- contribute to the downward trend in suicides in London, particularly within high-risk groups, and
- reduce social harms from suicide, such as to those bereaved by suicide.
To achieve these aims, we have set out the following objectives for deliverables within the strategy:
- deliver tailored approaches to reduce the risk of suicide in high-risk groups
- provide better information and support to those bereaved or affected by suicide
- support the media to ensure sensitive and appropriate coverage and reporting of suicides and suicidal behaviour
- improve research, data collection and monitoring of suicide, suicidal behaviour and self-harm in Lambeth.
