Choose Life (NHS Western Isles)

In Scotland, suicide prevention activities are delivered locally through Choose Life, which leads the implementation of key aspects of the suicide prevention strategy through the national programme for suicide prevention in Scotland. The programme team works in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders both local and national.

Key tasks include training, national and local campaigns and developing evidence informed guidance. Each area in Scotland has a nominated suicide prevention lead who has a key role in implementing the local suicide prevention action plan. These are monitored by the local community planning partnership and are focused on developing a wide range of services offering practical support through to raising awareness and providing suicide prevention training.

Forthcoming events will be advertised promoted via posters and NHS Western Isles Facebook page.
