A new campaign has been launched to encourage people in Greater Manchester to talk about suicide, the biggest killer of men under 49 and women aged between 20 to 34 in the region. 
Commissioned by the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership, the ‘Shining a Light on Suicide’ campaign will be delivered across Greater Manchester over the coming months. With a short film, website, and a toolkit for all partners, the campaign will inform people across Greater Manchester’s ten boroughs about what can be done to help those with suicidal thoughts – while ensuring they are signposted to support organisations.
The Shining a light on suicide campaign toolkit has been designed to easily find and use content to amplify the Shining a light on suicide campaign across a variety of channels. This toolkit contains resources for statutory and charity organisations who wish to promote suicide prevention in their localities.
