Bridlington Samaritans

On 2 Nov 1953, Samaritans answered our first call ☎️ 70 years on, we're more needed than ever. Last year, there wasn't a single second when our volunteers weren't on the phone. No matter how much time passes, the core of what we do stays the same: We're always here to listen 💚

On the days when things feel really tough, take it back to basics. If you feel able to, try to: 💚 Make your bed 💚 Open a window 💚 Get something to eat and drink 💚 Brush your teeth

Reminder: You are never alone. We're here for you every day of the year 🗓️

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day. Sometimes the content shared on days like this can be overwhelming or difficult to read. It's OK to feel this way. It's OK to not post anything. It's OK to log off. Do what's right for you 💚 We're here if you need us 📱 116 123

You can talk anything through with us, we're here to listen 💚

Whatever happens this week, we're here to face it with you 💚

Right now all across England, essential community suicide prevention funding is about to run out, or already has. We need proper support in our communities and if this funding isn’t saved, suicide prevention schemes all across the country may have to stop or be scaled back. 1/2

Suicide prevention isn't just for one day. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay may be over for another year, but we will continue to fight to save lives. That’s why we work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority.

📣 The way we talk about suicide matters. Tomorrow is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, using the right words to talk about suicide is essential to breaking down stigma and preventing it. Here's how to post and talk about it safely, in a way that helps people open up 👇 1/6
