IN YOUR DREAMS...

A crack team saving lives that could be lost to suicide. Starring YOU!

BE A ZERO HERO

More than 6,000 people a year die by suicide. One life lost is one too many.

The Zero Suicide Alliance (ZSA) is an alliance of people and organisations who believe in one basic principle: suicide is preventable.

Our FREE suicide prevention training is available to everyone. It means anybody can spot someone presenting with suicidal thoughts or behaviour, then help them find the right services or support.

Now we’re looking for more Zero Heroes – people to take our training, perhaps support our fundraising and encourage others to do the same.

Join us as we take the next steps to help prevent suicide.

WHY NOW?

Suicide is already the leading cause of death for women under 34 and men under 49. It’s devastating for families, communities and the economy.

The impact of COVID-19 on people’s mental health is still unknown – but we need to be prepared. The effect on suicide rates of the economic slow down in 2008 did not hit until 2012 – the next three years are vital.

It’s time to take the training. It’s time to fundraise. It’s time to make a change.
