<p>The National Suicide Prevention Strategy highlights men, and especially middle-aged
and young men, as a group at high risk of suicide, and in January 2019, we published
the first cross-Government suicide prevention workplan. It includes sections on tailoring
prevention approaches towards reducing suicide risk in high-risk groups such as men.</p><p>
</p><p>Through the NHS Long Term Plan, we are investing £57 million in suicide prevention.
This will see investment in all areas of the country by 2023/24 to support local suicide
prevention plans and establish suicide bereavement support services. We have worked
with NHS England to ensure that local areas test approaches to reaching and engaging
men.</p><p> </p><p>The Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Sustainability and Transformation
Partnership has received £300,000 in 2019/20 and £300,000 in 2020/21 for suicide prevention.</p>
