Every year on the 10th of September, organisations and communities around the world come together to raise awareness about how we can work together to create a world where fewer people die by suicide. World Suicide Prevention Day is a chance for us all to come together, raise awareness, and take meaningful steps towards preventing suicide and supporting those who may be struggling to cope. Recent data from the Office for National Statistics has shown that the rate of suicide is now the highest it has been since 1999. Healthcare workers will make up these tragic statistics. Family members and colleagues who saw no other way out than to end their lives. If you’re struggling to cope and need urgent mental health support, please reach out for help. Doctors in Distress offer a free 24/7 text support service, text SHoUT to 85258. Or contact the Samaritans https://lnkd.in/giTkzEs Guidance on how to support someone you’re worried about: https://lnkd.in/dPHx9rt #StartTheConversation (and keep talking) #ChangeTheNarrative #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #worldsuicidepreventionday #WSPD

Thank you for this post and helping to raise awareness. It's so important. Just to clarify, we don't offer 24/7 support- that is SHOUT's service. However we do run a weekly support group on a Wednesday lunch time for any healthcare workers who are struggling with their mental health. To register, you can click here
