This week in our signposting series the topic we will be focusing on is suicidal thoughts.

Different people have different experiences of suicidal feelings. You might feel unable to cope with the difficult feelings you are experiencing. You may feel less like you want to die and more like you cannot go on living the life you have.

These feelings may build over time or might change from moment to moment. And it's common to not understand why you feel this way.

If you are feeling suicidal, you might be scared or confused by these feelings. You may find the feelings overwhelming.

But you are not alone and you can have a look at our stories for some fantastic resources which we will be sharing today as part of our signposting series!

If you are struggling to cope, please don't hesitate to text HECTOR to 85258 today for support. 💚

Stay safe Herts Police information

❓ Did you know that if you feel unsafe during a date 💕 you can seek help from bar staff through the Ask For Angela scheme?

If you have concerns about the behaviour of someone you have met up with and feel uncomfortable, simply ask a staff member if you can “speak to Angela” 👩

Staff can then assist you in leaving the venue discreetly and getting home or to a place of safety 🚕

The scheme is running at a number of venues across , many of which will be displaying signage.

Some feedback received for the EAP work we do.

‘We have had excellent feedback from our people, and I want to thank you for all the work you have done with us to support wellbeing.’

Did you know we provide counselling in the workplace via zoom? Like schools every employee matters and providing a safe place for those who need support has proven to be very worthwhile.
