Day, night, week day or weekend, please don't struggle on alone if things are difficult, get in touch #talktous #welisten #itsoktonotbeok #freecall 116 123

Starting a conversation could help save someone’s life. You might worry about saying the wrong thing or feel like it’s not your place to step in, but it’s always better to say something than to say nothing at all, if you feel safe to do so. #SmallTalkSavesLives

Starting a conversation could help save someone’s life. 👂 Really listen to what they're saying. 💬 Repeat it back to show you hear them. 💚 Encourage them to find a quiet spot to sit. 📞 Ask if there’s someone you can call for them — family, a friend, or Samaritans.

Reminder: Your words are powerful. If someone doesn’t look OK, starting a conversation could save their life. #SmallTalkSavesLives

We can all struggle. Any place. Any time. Our #SmallTalkSavesLives campaign is about turning everyday conversations into moments that matter. If someone doesn’t look OK, start a conversation. You could save a life. youtube.com/watch?v=PNQTfl…
