Learn something new about suicide prevention
Take a few minutes out of your day to learn about Samaritans work to ensure fewer people die by suicide.
Suicide is a desperate attempt to escape suffering that has become unbearable. Blinded by feelings of self-loathing, hopelessness, and isolation, a suicidal person can’t see any way of finding relief except through death. But despite their desire for the pain to stop, most suicidal people are deeply conflicted about ending their own lives. They wish there was an alternative to suicide, but they just can’t see one.
Samaritans aims to reduce the incidence of suicide by encouraging people to talk about their thoughts and feelings.
