As we approach World Suicide Prevention Day, I've been reflecting deeply on my recent experience attending the "Be a Samaritan" programme and the "Providing Emotional Support to Persons with Potential Suicidality" training with SOS. These sessions were both eye-opening and humbling, as they delved into the critical skills needed to support individuals in distress. Through this training, I realized that while we often believe we're good listeners, true empathetic listening requires much more than we might think. It's about being fully present, setting aside our judgments, and genuinely understanding the silent cries for help that may not always be voiced. This reflection has reinforced a powerful truth: everyone can play a part in supporting those in need. Empathetic listening is something we often overlook and many of us may not realize how much of a difference simply being there, offering a listening ear, and showing genuine care can make. We all have the capacity to be that support for someone, to be the reason they choose to stay and find hope. Let’s commit to being present for those around us, fostering a culture of empathy and understanding. Together, we can make a significant difference in turning a Leaving note into a Living note. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #Empathy #MentalHealth #SupportOneAnother #SuicidePrevention
