Today is Time to Talk day and we're resharing our campaign from 2025, to remind you that talking about su***de not only reduces the stigma but can also help someone struggling to seek help and rethink their options.

It is safer to ask about su***de than to avoid the conversation. Language around su***de does need to be approached sensitively. Asking someone if they’re having suicidal thoughts can give them the space to tell you how they feel and let them know they are not a burden.

For advice on how to safely start conversations about su***de, visit the PAPYRUS website. 💜
