Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.
It’s a day for us all to honour the memories of those we have lost to suicide, and to support those going through tough times and living with the grief of losing someone.
The message today is: 'We all have a role to play'. A role to play in staying connected, supporting those we care about and helping those struggling access the help they need.
Today - and every day – let the people around you know you are there for them by asking 'are you OK?'. A conversation can change a life.
