World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) takes place annually on 10 September.
It is a significant advocacy and communication-based event aimed at reaching national organisations, governments and the general public, giving a singular message that suicide can be prevented.

#ZeroSuicideLDN campaign
To date, more than 350,000 people across the capital have completed the training supported by the #ZeroSuicideLDN campaign.
The citywide #ZeroSuicideLDN campaign was launched four years ago by the Mayor of London and partners to encourage Londoners to access the Zero Suicide Alliance’s free, online suicide prevention training.
To reach this milestone is a fantastic, collective achievement. Thank you to all London partners for continuing to support this campaign.
World Suicide Prevention Day 2023
To mark World Suicide Prevention Day 2023, we’d be grateful if partners would continue to support and share the campaign.
This year the awareness day takes place on a Sunday, so we have collated a range of messages that can be shared on WSPD itself, as well as in the lead up to the day and after. The suggested messaging also includes wider signposting in the context of the current emerging challenges, including cost of living, financial anxiety, and supporting witnesses to suicide.
The increased cost-of living pressures which emerged over this past year have been significant for many across the city and have had a detrimental impact on Londoners’ mental health and wellbeing.
There has never been a more important time to shine a light on the campaign and encourage Londoners to learn how to support those around them who may be in crisis.
