Every year on 10th September, organisations and communities come together to mark World Suicide Prevention Day. This year I would like to share my thoughts - particularly on how suicide affects our LGBTQ+ and our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities.

It was a pleasure to be a guest on the latest Voices Of Experience podcast where I spoke about mental health for the LGBTQ+ community in the South Asian diaspora and the challenges they face in terms of accessing the right support.

It’s a pleasure for me to be writing this as we mark South Asian Heritage Month – an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the unique contribution people from the sub-continent have made to life in the UK.
