STOP Suicide is an award-winning suicide prevention campaign that seeks to empower communities and individuals across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to help stop suicides by being alert to the warning signs, asking directly about suicide and helping those who are feeling suicidal to stay safe. It is led by the charity Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire Mind (CPSL Mind) and supported by local NHS and Public Health teams. It involves general awareness-raising about suicide, specialist training for non-mental health professionals working / volunteering within our communities, and a public campaign to encourage sign-up to the STOP Suicide Pledge for organisations and individuals.
