Lambeth Suicide Prevention Strategy

Mental health and wellbeing has been an area of focus in Lambeth for many years. Through our local partnerships, we have developed innovative and person-centred approaches to supporting people affected by mental illness. Rates of suicide in Lambeth are generally lower than England. However, there are more people affected by mental illness. It is therefore important that we retain this focus on broader mental health issues within the requirement to have a suicide prevention plan.

Our suicide prevention strategy and action plan focuses as much on the wider context of poor mental health as a potential risk factor as it does on suicide itself. This strategy provides a multi-agency framework for action across the life-course to prevent avoidable loss of life through suicide. It draws on local experience and research evidence, aiming to prevent suicide and promote mental health and wellbeing.
