Suicide Prevention in Lincolnshire

Did you know that 1 in 5 people in England will think about suicide in their lifetime? In Lincolnshire alone, between 80 and 90 people tragically die by suicide each year.

Every suicide is a devastating loss, impacting family, friends, and the entire community. Our Suicide Prevention page is dedicated to helping prevent these tragedies. Here, you'll find local resources to support those experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings, those affected by suicide, and anyone looking to support a loved one in crisis.

Remember, reaching out can save lives. You're not alone, and help is available.
