Lambeth Suicide Prevention Strategy 2025 – 2030

Lambeth’s new Suicide Prevention Strategy and Action Plan sets out a five-year approach to helping save lives being lost to suicide, while highlighting that the risk for suicide is higher in many key groups. 

Our key priority groups will be: 

  • children and young people
  • men (in particular, those aged 45-64)
  • people in contact with mental health services
  • people in contact with the justice system
  • people with autism
  • birthing people and new mothers
  • people who have self-harmed
  • LGBTQ+ communities
  • people with disabilities
  • asylum seekers
  • people facing financial difficulty and economic adversity
  • people affected by gambling harms
  • people who are misusing substances
  • domestic abuse survivors.

Our approach to prevention must be multi-agency and include addressing social and commercial determinants of suicide. 

This strategy provides a framework for collective activities which bring together the council, primary and secondary health and care services, voluntary and third sector organisations as well as communities and individuals.
