Mick Coyle takes a look at the latest suicide figures for England and Wales with Paul Vittles ahead of World Suicide Prevention Day 2024.

Released in 2024, figures show 6069 deaths were recorded in 2023, the highest rate since 1999.

Paul has a long track record of working in the #zerosuicide community, and an incredible insight into how we currently deal with suicide in the UK, and what could be improved if we wanted to genuinely improve it.

This summer he was a key part of the #JointheDots tour and you can read about his work in the Zero Suicide Transformation Programme.

He's also active on Linkedin.
