This week Edinburgh Police have been holding partnership outreach information events in an attempt to provide information on the support that is available to people affected by suicide and to highlight the importance of talking about suicide.

Yesterday at Cameron Toll Shopping Centre we were delighted once more to see so many organisations come together.

Thanks to Lothians Veterans Centre Chris’s House PenumbraThe Edinburgh Crisis CentreSurvivors of Bereavement by Suicide – SOBSEquality NetworkProjekt 42Scottish Trans AllianceWaverley Care – HIV, Hep C & Sexual Health in ScotlandSamaritans for supporting these events over the past few days.

Today we will be at Bristo Square from 11am until 2pm if you would like to come to speak to someone.

We all have our part to play in preventing suicide and, if you are affected by suicide, you are not alone.
