A FIFE film has been made as part of this year’s World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) campaign.

Suicide Prevention Scotland has made five films to highlight the work of individuals working to support others with poor mental health.

The theme of this year’s campaign is ‘Changing the Narrative’ to highlight the importance of open conversations.

The Fife film introduces several people working to support mental health and the wellbeing of those in their communities.

The video features Kenny Armour from Andy’s Man Club, Kirsty McElhinney, a community education worker at Fife Council, Eddie Martin, mental health ambassador at Dunfermline Athletic FC, and Maggie Wright, co-founder/ CEO at Families in Trauma.

Kenny, area lead for Andy’s Man Club, said: “I first realised I was struggling when my daughter was born in 2014, it should have been a happy time in my life.

“But it wasn’t until three years ago that I properly started talking to people and finding out what was going on in my life.

“It's important that we keep shouting about mental health and breaking down that barrier, and getting people talking, because it is having a big difference not just in local areas, but throughout the UK as well.”

In 2023, 792 people died by suicide in Scotland.

The campaign is part of a national effort under Scotland’s Creating Hope Together action plan, which aims to reduce suicides by fostering a culture of compassion, understanding, and early intervention.
