Samaritans Leeds

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

If someone doesn’t look OK, looks out of place, or you just feel like something isn’t quite right, start a conversation if you feel safe to do so. A little small talk could save their life 💚

#MothersDay can mean a lot of things for a lot of people. If you're finding it tough today and you need to talk, we're here to listen 💚

You don’t have to be an expert to start a conversation with someone who might be struggling to cope. A simple "Hey, are you alright?" can be all it takes to interrupt someone's suicidal thoughts. Anyone can do it. #SmallTalkSavesLives

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

📣Did you know: There’s no evidence that starting a conversation with someone who doesn’t seem OK will make things worse. There’s no perfect approach. By showing you care and being there, you can make a difference. #SmallTalkSavesLives youtu.be/PNQTfltxo4A
