Learning Disability Week 2025 (8-12 September)

Monday 8 until Friday 12 September:  “I am here”
 
Scottish Learning Disability Week is fast approaching, and across Perth and
Kinross, we’ll be celebrating the voices, talents, and contributions of people with
learning disabilities.
This year’s theme, “I am here”, reflects the powerful message that people with
learning disabilities want to be seen, heard, and included in every part of
community life. It’s a call to recognise presence, promote visibility, and foster
inclusion.

Suicide Prevention Day 2025 - 10 September

Wednesday 10th September is Suicide Prevention Day and across Perth and Kinross there are many events taking to place to support those facing difficulties as well as those that are the supporters....
 
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.

poster image for event: Lets Talk About Mens Suicide

Let’s Talk About Men and Suicide (Mon 1st Sept 2025)

Let’s talk about … men and suicide

Monday 1 September

Too many men are struggling in silence.

A free community event will take place on Monday 1 September for anyone aged 16 and over who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts, concerned about someone, or affected by suicide in any way.

The event is a powerful opportunity to come together, hear from people with lived or living experience of suicide, and learn how we can all play a part in helping to prevent it.

You’ll hear from voices across our community - including speakers from The Neuk, The Samaritans (local branch), the University of Dundee, and the Health and Social Care Partnership.

Join us for an open and honest panel discussion about why talking really can save lives. You’ll also have the chance to connect with local suicide prevention partners in a relaxed, world-café style space.

We’ll highlight some of the support available locally and break down common myths around suicide.

The event will take place on Monday 1 September from 6.30pm until 8.30pm at North Inch Community Campus, Gowans Terrace, Perth.

Book your space at Let's talk about... men and suicide event - Perth & Kinross Council
