Support group calls for action to reduce suicide rate in Cumbria
Every week someone in Cumbria takes their own life. As Mental Health Awareness Week begins, Survivors of Bereavement for Suicide say more needs to be done to help.
'Every week we lose a Cumbrian'
"Every week we lose a Cumbrian to suicide".
That's the message from Cumbria's branch of SOBs, the Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide charity.
The group says that between 2011 and 2013, 162 people took their own lives in the county, and they're calling for more to be done to help.
