Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and the theme this year is ‘Creating Hope Through Action'. We can all play a role in supporting those experiencing a suicidal crisis. Through action, you can make a difference to someone in their darkest moments.
If you are worried about someone, don't leave it to chance. Ask them if they are okay. We know broaching the conversation can be hard and you may worry you will say the wrong thing. But by simply making the time and space to listen to someone about their experiences of distress or suicidal thoughts can help and could potentially save their life.
Swipe to see some phrases that you can use for guidance when checking if someone is okay 👉
If someone opens up to you and lets you know they are struggling, encourage them to download the Hub of Hope, so they can reach out to support services at a touch of a button.
Please share this post to help raise awareness of the importance of checking in on your friends, family, and colleagues and the ways you can help start a meaningful conversation with someone you think might be struggling🧡

This Sunday, we want to shoutout the fantastic Amy-Lea Evans! 🙌 In less than seven days, Amy-Lea will be taking on the Tatton Park 10k to raise money for Chasing the Stigma.🏃♀️ Before signing up for the race, Wirral-based Amy-Lea had never run before, so it was a huge challenge for her to take on.
Chasing the Stigma and the Hub of Hope rely almost entirely on public donations, which means fundraising is absolutely essential for everything we do. All fundraising, however big or small, is not only greatly appreciated but also helps raise awareness of our work🧡
We want to say a big thank you to Amy-Lea and our other wonderful fundraisers for all your support!🙌

A lot of us are guilty of skipping breaks in our working day for various reasons, but please remember, it’s okay to take a break.
Taking regular breaks throughout your working day is important not only for your health and wellbeing, but your productivity too. Did you know that by taking regular breaks you can actually boost your performance at work?
Whether they are short, 15-minute breaks to stretch your legs or socialise, 30-minute lunches, or longer, remember to take regular breaks.
Young people have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic due to their education being disrupted, spending reduced time with friends and being in isolation.
So, now more than ever, the mental health of young people is so important. We are offering training to schools, youth clubs and young person organisations through our Ambassador of Hope Youth training, which is suitable for those aged 11 and above.
The Ambassador of Hope Youth training has been adapted so it is language appropriate and relevant to the audience. It is set out so it encourages open dialogue around how to talk about mental health and also how to help others if they are struggling.
