Prince William launches sport suicide‑prevention toolkit on World Suicide Prevention Day

Prince William hosted the unveiling of “On Your Side”, a digital suicide‑prevention toolkit for sport, at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium. The guide, developed with the British Standards Institution and mental‑health charity Chasing the Stigma, offers practical steps for athletes, coaches, officials and supporters to recognise and respond to suicidal thoughts. A short film featuring athletes such as Harry Kane, George Russell, Dame Kelly Holmes and Dame Laura Kenny accompanied the launch, and leading bodies including the Football Association, Premier League, British Cycling and Team GB pledged to integrate the resource across their organisations. The event highlighted royal backing for mental‑health tools in sport and aimed to encourage honest conversations throughout the sector.
