📢 Our research found that 74% of people feel comfortable talking to their friends and family about mental health. But there's still a significant gap when it comes to discussing suicidal thoughts, with only 45% of people feeling able to talk about them. Help us change this. We want to encourage open, honest conversations about suicidal feelings and help you share the hardest words to say. Start the conversation today. Ask someone if they're feeling suicidal. It could even save a life.  #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Research like this is vital for understanding how as an industry we can support those who are accessing our services, and also encourage those who are yet to access to do so.

Really important research thank you for highlighting this Samaritans! It just shows the stigma and barriers that are still very much present when discussing suicide
