About #ZeroSuicideLDN campaign
More than 360,000 people across the capital have completed free, suicide prevention training as part of the #ZeroSuicideLDN campaign.
Launched by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan in September 2019, with support from the NHS in London, the citywide #ZeroSuicideLDN campaign aims to encourage Londoners to access free, online suicide prevention training.
Developed by the Zero Suicide Alliance, the free, online training takes around 20 minutes to complete and is designed to show how to have a direct and honest conversation about suicide and mental health with friends and family.
The training helps to break the stigma of talking about mental health, suicidal thoughts and bereavement. The approach follows research that shows talking honestly and openly about suicide has helped to save lives. The training also includes specific training modules on student mental health, veterans, and supporting taxi drivers and those working in the night-time economy.
