On Tuesday 10 September, organisations and communities across the globe will come together to mark World Suicide Prevention Day.
We know how hard it can be to find the right words to talk openly about how we’re feeling. But when someone is dealing with difficult thoughts or worries, having someone there to listen can make all the difference.
Together, we work to make suicide prevention a priority for everyone, help raise awareness of Samaritans, how to support others who may be struggling and reduce the stigma around suicide.
This World Suicide Prevention Day, we want to show everyone that talking about difficult feelings, including suicidal thoughts, doesn’t have to be scary.
- If someone you know is struggling with their mental health, we’ll help you find the words to speak about suicidal thoughts and other difficult feelings. Just being there to listen and showing you care can help.
- It’s OK to ask someone if they are feeling suicidal. Asking can help them open up, and start a conversation that could save their life.
