Find out how CFG's Eve Trotman is 'creating hope through action' as part of World Suicide Prevention Day 2023 and how she's helping colleagues at CFG to learn more about suicide, suicide prevention and bereavement.
World Suicide Prevention Day is held on 10 September each year. The event represents a global commitment to focus attention on suicide prevention.
