Suicide can affect every one of us, and every life lost to suicide is a tragedy. By raising awareness, reducing the stigma & encouraging action we can help to reduce the number of lives lost to suicide in Somerset. This is the second year of the Walk for a Life event for World Suicide Prevention Day, the aim is to raise awareness of suicide, remember those that have died by suicide and empower local people to take action to prevent suicide.
