Rethink How We Talk About Suicide...

It is time to challenge the myths that prevent meaningful conversations about suicide.
Explore our myth-buster section to educate yourself and others. Remember, every conversation can help save a life.

Fact: Open conversations about suicide can help reduce the risk. When people feel safe expressing their thoughts, it can lead to seeking help and finding hope. 

Fact: Talking about suicide is often a sign of deep emotional pain. It is vital to take these conversations seriously and provide support.  

Fact: Suicidal thoughts can arise from a variety of life circumstances, including trauma, loss, or overwhelming stress. Anyone can experience these thoughts, regardless of their mental health history. 

Fact: Many individuals can find hope and healing with proper support and intervention. Every conversation can make a significant difference.

Last week we were delighted to be part of an incredible partnership event at Jephson Gardens, Royal Leamington Spa. We teamed up with Warwick District Council Street Wardens, Neighbourhood Watch Network, Crimestoppers Warwickshire County Council Safer Streets, Victim Support, and the South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust to connect with our community.

It was a fantastic opportunity to share vital support, raise awareness, and come together to create safer, healthier, and more supportive communities.

💙 Thank you to everyone who joined us to break the stigma and make a difference!

Today our #SOSHub will be visiting The SYDNI Centre, so why not come and say hello.
