Today, we take a moment to reflect on a topic that affects many, either directly or indirectly. This year, World Suicide Prevention Day focuses on the theme of ‘Changing the Narrative on Suicide.’ It’s about encouraging open conversations, breaking down stigma, and showing that hope is always within reach. At Travel Counsellors, we’re committed to creating a space where everyone feels heard and supported. Whether it’s through our Mental Health First Aiders, our personal counsellor, or the relaxed conversations at our fortnightly Feel-Good Friday Coffee Mornings, we’re here to listen and be there for one another. Together, we believe that no one should ever feel alone. Your mental health matters to us ❤️ #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #MentalHealthMatters #StartTheConversation #TravelCounsellors
