In 2002, the Scottish Government launched Choose Life, a ten year strategy and action plan to reduce suicide in Scotland.
Choose Life sets out a framework to ensure that action is taken nationally and locally to build skills, develop training, encourage people to seek help early, improve knowledge and awareness of 'what works' to prevent suicide, and to encourage partnership working and improved co-ordination between services.
Suicide prevention is everyone's business
The Choose Life website is an information and education resource. Choose Life staff do not provide treatment, counselling or advice for those in crisis.
