Take action today and sign up to the movement for change on suicide. United to Prevent Suicide is a social movement of people from all across Scotland, we are united in a shared belief that each and every one of us has a role to play in preventing suicide.
Everyone who joins the movement receives a suicide prevention pack loaded with information on how to talk about suicide, how to become a better listener and how to dispel the myths about suicide.
Many of us have been affected by suicide in some way – whether it is ourselves, a loved one, or someone we know. Suicide is of concern to all of us. It is a leading cause of death among young people and men are three times more likely to take their own lives compared to women. Yet we still find it difficult to talk about suicide. Now is the moment for change.
United to Prevent Suicide is for anyone who is passionate about this issue and building the most supportive country in the world. Sign up today.
A 30 second film has been co-produced with people of lived experience and has featured across TV, video on demand and digital channels.
Focused on the difficulty of saying the word, suicide, the powerful and authentic words in the film are from real experiences and voiced by the very people who told us their story.

If we are unable to verify your identity or ownership rights to the data, we may not be able to provide you with data rights until you are able to provide us with proper documents.
Information retention
Unless you specifically ask us to delete your personal information, we retain your personal information as long as it is necessary to comply with our data retention requirements and provide you with services and the benefits of the Intuit Platform and successfully run our business.

There may be occasions where we are unable to fully delete, anonymise, or de-identify your information due to technical, legal, regulatory compliance or other operational reasons. Where this is the case, we will take reasonable measures to securely isolate your personal information from any further processing until such time as we are able to delete, anonymise, or de-identify it.

When we transfer, store or process personal information outside of your jurisdiction, we take appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Statement and applicable law. We may use contracts or the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or, as may be applicable, the equivalent clauses approved by the UK Government, to help ensure your information is protected.
