The government have pledged £1.5M into research into suicide prevention.

''Around 4,200 people in England took their own lives in 2010 and suicide continues to be a public health issue – especially during a period of economic uncertainty, the Department of Health said.

The suicide rate is highest amongst men aged 35-49, while men are three times more likely than women to take their own life, according to statistics''

I hope the government take stock from these stats, whilst counselling, ad campaigns and self help groups are great for raising awareness they are not enough.
A much more proactive stance is needed to help these middle aged men whose families depend on them, a decent living wage that's what is needed.
