York Samaritans

York Samaritans are encouraging people to start a simple conversation if they notice someone who doesn’t seem okay, especially on the railway network, but also in other public settings. #SmallTalkSavesLives samaritans.org/branches/york/…

We are urging people to undertake small talk between strangers to help save life’s. To mark the campaign, events at railway stations include Selby on March 19, and York on March 25. Thanks @yorkpress in helping promote this campaign. Learn more here: yorkpress.co.uk/news/25946488.…

If someone feels suicidal their thoughts can be repetitive & feel very overwhelming leaving them feeing stuck in a cycle. If you spot someone who doesn’t look OK. Small, soft questions can be a gentle way in, they interrupt the cycle of thoughts without overwhelming them.

Your words are a life-saving kit. If you see someone who doesn’t look OK, a little small talk could save their life. Anyone can do it. Find out more: bit.ly/31zOPTZ #SmallTalkSavesLives

Most of us have a friend on our mind that we keep meaning to message, maybe because they’ve gone a bit quiet or they’re having a tough time. But life gets so busy we end up putting it off. If you’ve got a spare moment now, this is your reminder to check in with them.

We’re here day or night, 365 days a year. 📱Call us for free on 116 123.
