Tell your local newspaper - suicide prevention training for emergency workers is urgent

We need to alert our local newspapers about how often our emergency services are called out to suicide-related incidents. 

Local figures show just how many times paramedics, the police and firefighters have been called out to those in suicidal crises. And now its time to ask your local community to back the call for life-saving suicide prevention training for all emergency responders.

Will you send an email to your local newspapers' editors?

Lets contact them with the suicide call-out numbers for our local emergency services now, and get letters published in the news across England.

If we all contact our local newspapers, we have a real shot at getting readers to support the campaign and showing our MPs just how strongly the public feels about this at a local level - as well as nationally.
