Reducing suicide in St Helens

1. Reducing suicide in St Helens

At Healthwatch St Helens we are very worried about the high suicide rates in our Borough. We want to help with all the work that is going on by listening to what local people have to say. People who have been bereaved by suicide, or are at risk of being, and people who are having those thoughts about taking their own life.

Can you spare a few minutes to answer our questions?
