Samaritans’ Post

“It is important that you don’t feel afraid to say ‘Do you feel like taking your own life?’, because it won’t put the idea in their mind. To bring it out in the open, it relieves the situation, it takes the pressure out of the tyre.”   As part of our campaign to reduce stigma around suicide, Jonny Tatam-Hall - who lost his friend, Tom, to suicide - interviewed Ruby Wax, mental health advocate, founder and patron of Frazzled UK and author of ‘I’m Not As Well as I thought I was’, on her experiences of suicidality.   Ruby shares how important it is to seek help and #StartTheConversation if you’re worried about someone. You can watch the full video and find resources to help you to start the conversation on our stigma and suicide webpage: https://lnkd.in/etm7wq_J #StartTheConversation #LanguageMatters #SuicidePrevention #Stigma #LivedExperience #SuicideBereavement #Suicidality #ReachOut
