Today is World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) and every conversation matters. 🌍💬 The statistics around suicide are at their highest for 25 years. Suicide rates among men have increased, despite the growth in mental health support available, with reports that construction workers in the UK are almost four times more likely to die by suicide than the national average. Every dialogue, no matter how brief with a friend, colleague or professional, helps build a more supporting and understanding industry – and society. And it’s why this year’s WSPD theme – ‘Changing the narrative to prevent suicide’ – is all about promoting the importance of reducing stigma and fostering open conversations to prevent suicides. 💚 A short conversation can save a life. #StartTheConversation with someone you’re worried about today with Mental Health UK’s useful conversation guide below. #WSPD #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #MentalHealthAwareness #YouAreNotAlone #SuicidePrevention
