At Calder View and Heathfield Gardens, the people we support created signs and artwork for Suicide Prevention Day! 🎗 Manager at Calder View Debbie said, "Support staff member Sammy and Michael who resides at Calder View went out to the local park to display laminated help signs onto trees to help people who are feeling low with advice numbers and people to contact for help and support. 👏 I felt this was a lovely idea and want to say a big well done to both of them for supporting Suicide Prevention Day and Suicide Awareness Month in September! 🌟 They then stopped off for a coffee after all their hard work and Michael enjoyed some time feeding the ducks." ☕🦆 Senior Support Worker at Heathfield Gardens Mary-Jane said "The gentleman at Heathfield Gardens had a great day on Tuesday writing quotes on what they are grateful for. Support Worker Weronika created a gratitude box for the activities in support of Suicide Prevention Day. 🎗 Everyone enjoyed some painting of supportive quotes and creating their own quotes of what they are grateful for including quotes based on their health, friends, fun and games, the quotes were then placed into the gratitude box and shared with others. After the activity, we had a fantastic conversation where all of the people we support engaged in the discussion around suicide prevention and shared their ideas of healthy coping skills." 💙 Well done everyone for supporting Suicide Prevention Day, it looks like you all had a good day creating some quotes and posters and even sharing them into your local community to support people who could be struggling or feeling low. 👏 A great way to be a valuable member of your community and to support others! 🤩 Starting the Conversation together is a great way to support each other and this year's theme to 'Change the Narrative on Suicide'.🎗💛 Samaritans - 116 123 - Open 24/7 Mind - 0300 102 1234 - Open Monday-Friday 09:00 - 18:00 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #SuicidePreventionDay #RaisingAwareness #LetsTalk #Talk #ChangingTheNarrativeOnSuicide #SupportWork #SocialCare
