Lambeth Suicide Prevention Strategy 2025-2030

Read the council’s strategy to reduce the number of suicides in Lambeth

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.
