Why are women in leadership so important? 🤔 For Scottish Women & Girls in Sport Week 2024, we asked a few women involved in sport to share their thoughts. "It increases representation and allows women and girls voices to be heard where it matters most." 🧡 #SheCanSheWill

Challenging mental health stigma can often include little adjustments in your day. Try swapping out terms like ‘crazy’ or ‘mental’ with alternatives like ‘wild’ or ‘unbelievable’. It takes time to adjust, so don’t worry if you make mistakes!

Over half of young people are worried about rising costs impacting their families. We are working with our charity partners Mind and SAMH to improve mental health support and raise awareness of the links between money and mental health. 🗣️ We’re developing a specialist training programme for colleagues to help those facing money worries. 📚 We’ve launched a new signposting guide which shares the types of help mental health support available in the UK so our colleagues can best support our customers. ❤️ If you’re struggling, please reach out to our incredible charity partners for support https://lnkd.in/e5AQjMC7 Research carried out with 1,000 children aged 11-17 by OnePoll in August 2024.

Our Suicide Prevention team have been out supporting communities across Scotland! 💙 On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we delivered a record number of 'Introduction to Suicide Prevention' courses, as well as hosting events and stalls encouraging people to talk openly about suicide. We even trained a group of wild swimmers and joined them for a dip in the north sea after – how’s that for dedication?! 😅

This week, our associate trainer Gary delivered ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) on behalf of SAMH for Wheatley Group. This interactive and comprehensive training equips participants with the skills to recognise and support someone who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide. A huge congratulations to the 14 newly qualified ASIST caregivers! To enquire about booking ASIST or any of our other workplace training please email workplace@samh.org.uk View our catalogue of products and services here: https://lnkd.in/eTwXQVCs

As many as 135 people are impacted by each death by suicide. It's normal to feel unsure about how to support a person affected by suicide. However, it's important to keep being there, and ensure they have a friend to turn to 💙 🔗 https://ow.ly/Fefx50Tr92R
