Today, 10th September, is World Suicide Prevention Day.

It is a day to pause and reflect.

For some, it is a day of action and advocacy. For others, it is deeply personal: a day that brings into sharp focus someone they have loved and dearly miss….

Not adhering to media guidelines when reporting on suicide is dangerous, can be incredibly detrimental and lead to further loss of life. Please, please, please make sure you read and stick to these guidelines. It really is so important.

A young Sheffield United footballer, Maddy Cusack, dies at the shocking age of 27, and during hers, and her families moment from the club, sky sports switch to a ladbrokes advert.

And that, is everything that is wrong with the world we live in.

More than 700,000 people die by suicide each year

Although it is difficult to predict suicide, knowing some of the warning signs could be life-saving
