AM SUPPORTS WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY

Mick Antoniw is supporting World Mental Health Day on 10th October 2019, which this year is focusing on suicide prevention.

Mick Antoniw said:

“I’m supporting World Mental Health Day and its focus on suicide prevention.

“Every suicide is a tragedy and whilst men are more likely to take their own life, the female suicide rate in Wales has increased by 19% since 2017.  Meanwhile, suicide remains the biggest killer of young people, aged 15 – 24.

“Samaritans Cymru provide excellent support and additional information and I would encourage anyone affected by this issue to contact them.”
