Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, a time to raise awareness and start conversations that could save lives. This year’s theme, 'Changing the narrative on suicide,' emphasizes the importance of compassion, understanding, and support. Suicide is not just about a single moment but is often tied to ongoing mental health struggles. Creating safe, non-judgmental spaces where people can talk openly is crucial in preventing tragedies. Asking someone if they’re okay could be the first step to making a difference. For those unsure how to approach these conversations, ✴ Zero Suicide Alliance ✴ offers free training to help build confidence. Support is always available: Samaritans: 📞 Call 116 123 (24/7) Shout: 📱 Text ‘SHOUT’ to 85258 (24/7) NHS 111 : 📞 Call 111 (24/7) CALM: 📞 Call 0800 58 58 58 (5 pm-midnight) Together, we can change the narrative and show that there’s always hope.

‘Changing the Narrative on Suicide’ - how can we play a part in transforming how we perceive this complex issue, and shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support?   This World Suicide Prevention Day, we have an opportunity in our jobs and at home, to show everyone that talking about difficult feelings, including suicidal thoughts, doesn’t have to be scary. A recent poll found that only 45% of people feel comfortable talking to family and friends about suicidal thoughts, compared to 74% who said they feel comfortable talking about mental health. By talking more openly about suicide, we can give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
