International Suicide Prevention Awareness Week

Around two people die from suicide in Scotland every day and it is the biggest killer of young Scottish men, yet suicide is still one of society's remaining taboos. International Suicide Prevention Awareness Week (ISPAW), running from 4th Sept - 10th Sept, aims to tackle this.

Choose Life will launch the week on Monday in Glasgow. Following this, a series of events, workshops, exhibitions and football matches are planned across Scotland.
