Today is World Su***de Prevention Day when we think not only of those people who are having suicidal thoughts, but also those who have sadly been bereaved by su***de.
To add to the numbers below, if you are in Somerset you can also contact Mind in Somerset Mindline which is available 24 hours a day.
Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 💚
It takes place on 10 September every year and it’s a chance for all of us, across the world, to raise awareness of su***de and su***de prevention.
This year’s theme is 'suicidal thoughts can be interrupted'. If you think someone might be suicidal, take action. Interrupt their thoughts and show them you care.
Often, people experiencing suicidal thoughts feel isolated, unheard, or misunderstood. A simple, genuine conversation can be powerful.
Listening without judgment, without rushing to offer solutions, allows someone to feel seen.
If you’re struggling, please remember you're not alone.
If you can, please reach out to your GP, family and friends. You can contact the Samaritans 24 hours a day on their free phone number 116 123. Check the comments for links to support available in North Somerset.
