East Ayrshire Health & Social Care Partnerships - Suicide Prevention

Suicide Prevention in Scotland. Suicide is preventable, and talking about it, along with collaborative working, are key to reducing the number of completed and attempted suicides in our communities. In line with the national strategy to reduce suicide across Scotland, the East Ayrshire Suicide Prevention Partnership priorities include a coordinated suicide prevention programme. This incorporates a multiagency calendar of training, awareness raising and suicide prevention week.

Access to information, support and signposting to local organisations and groups is offered via the Community Health team of Vibrant Communities as well as regular campaigns to promote positive mental health. Local support groups are also promoted and supported.
