During the pandemic there have been countless claims of rising rates.
The Government has just announced its intention to review its national strategy for suicide prevention.
In this free seminar talk Professor Appleby will discuss those most at risk and whether suicide can be prevented. He will then reflect on how Covid-19 has affected suicide and self-harm statistics.
Finally, Professor Appleby will consider what should be covered in a revised national strategy.
