In 2021, an average of 17 people killed themselves every day in the UK. Although 2022's statistics have not yet been released, there is a widespread expectation that the suicide rate will either increase or remain high. The aftermath of COVID-19, the cost of living crisis and a declining NHS workforce have only made more apparent that the current system is not structured in a way that effectively prevents suicide.
