Talk to me: A national action plan to reduce suicide and self harm in Wales 2008-2013

Every suicide is a tragedy, a life and family member lost. For those left behind suicide leaves a wound that does not easily heal. It affects their families, friends and the communities in which they live. To ensure action is taken, the Welsh Assembly Government is launching a national plan to reduce suicide and self harm.

We wanted to hear your views on whether the plan could help to reduce the number of people who harm themselves or who die by suicide because of the problems they have. We wanted your thoughts on whether the plan is the best way to improve services.
