World Suicide Prevention Day...

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, we want to show everyone that talking about difficult feelings, including suicidal thoughts, doesn’t have to be scary.

We want to change this. By talking more openly about suicide, we can give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life. This article linked below from Samaritans has loads of information on behaviours to look out for if you think someone is having suicidal thoughts, and the support available
