On World Suicide Prevention Day 2026, we’re supporting the theme “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”.

Creating a more open and supportive culture helps reduce stigma and encourages people to seek help when they need it.

In Dorset, deaths by suicide reduced from 106 in 2023 to 91 in 2024, but every death remains one too many.

Our Suicide Prevention Report highlights key risk factors and uses data to identify where support may be needed most.
