In 2018, as I retired from policing, I was asked to take on a leadership role in suicide prevention. 6 years later it’s time to pass on that privilege. The role has evolved but the reason to do it remains the same: we all have a part to play in saving lives. Could this be yours?

One week today we'll, mark World Suicide Prevention Day. In the coming days you will meet some of the extraordinary people across Scotland who are working to prevent suicide, everyday. They will share their experiences, many of which are deeply personal. Let's meet them. 🎗️🧵

Meet some of the people working in suicide prevention, who will share their own personal experiences over the course of the next couple of weeks. 💜💚 #WSPD2024
