Greater Manchester’s Month of Hope – Empowering Life-Changing Conversations

This year’s Month of Hope will once again shine a light on suicide prevention by encouraging open, honest dialogue and challenging the stigma that often surrounds suicide and mental health as we launch our 2025 Greater Manchester Suicide Prevention Strategy.

Running annually in Greater Manchester from 10 September (World Suicide Prevention Day) until 10 October (World Mental Health Day), it invites people across Greater Manchester to come together, raise awareness, and support one another through meaningful conversations.

The Month of Hope is part of the Shining a Light on Suicide campaign, which aims to bring the issue or topic of suicide out of the dark. The campaign is working hard to change the narrative around suicide, highlighting that everyone can play a role in saving lives. Every conversation is an opportunity to make a difference.
