World Suicide Prevention Day

Thursday 10 September is World Suicide Prevention Day, an annual opportunity to raise awareness, challenge stigma and encourage open conversations about mental health.

Content note: The resources on this page discuss suicide, stress and mental health. Some readers may find this information distressing.

Support at work

UNISON would like to show continued support to our members; we recognise that mental health is still a topic which has stigma around it and it is not always the easiest topic to discuss.

We encourage our members to raise concerns relating to their mental health and wellbeing, especially where work is a concern.

If you do not feel like you are safe or supported in work, please reach out to your workplace representative or call the branch office on 0131 558 7488 or branchoffice@unison-edinburgh.org.uk for advice and support.
