World Suicide Prevention Day Conference 2026: What to expect, how to attend and more
On Wednesday 10 September, please join us for the 8th annual conference and service of remembrance to mark World Suicide Prevention Day – a day to help reduce the stigma, raise awareness and start meaningful conversations.
The event is brought to you by South East London Suicide Bereavement Service partners: South East London Mind, Mind in Bexley and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
The conference will showcase important work in the field of suicide prevention and will hear from those with lived experiences of losing a loved one.
Chaplains from the Trust will also lead a non-denominational service of remembrance to remember those we have lost to suicide, personally or professionally.
This event will be held online and is open to anyone who is interested in attending. You can sign up via Eventbrite: World Suicide Prevention Day Conference Tickets
About the Suicide Bereavement Service
The Suicide Bereavement Service focuses on supporting the agenda outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan and Suicide Prevention Strategy for England, working toward the national ambition that all those bereaved by suicide are offered timely, effective and compassionate support.
Evidence shows that those bereaved by suicide have a higher risk of dying by suicide than the general population. Services like this focus on “postvention” – the belief that supporting those bereaved by suicide who are at an increased risk are offered preventable measures against future crises.
The purpose of this service is to offer a community resource with open access to people of all ages bereaved by suicide across the London boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham, and Southwark. In its first five years of operation, the service has supported over 700 people.
