Action at local level is fundamental to reducing suicide and achieving the objectives of Choose Life.

A total of £9m has been devolved to all 32 local authority areas in Scotland to support local suicide prevention action plans in the first phase of Choose Life (2003-06). A further £6.4 million is being invested over 2006-2008. Community Planning Partners have developed and are implementing local suicide prevention plans. Each area has a nominated Choose Life Co-ordinator who plays a key role in implementing their local plan.

In general, local Choose Life action plans focus attention on:

  • Preventing suicide within communities
  • Improving the capacity of local communities to educate and raise awareness of suicide
  • Delivering prevention and intervention activities
  • Providing practical support to those affected by suicide
  • Involving a range of partners in preventing suicide

You can view an individual plan by clicking the area map opposite or on the area name in the list below.
