🧠☁️ Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, a day to raise awareness and break the silence around mental health challenges. 💔 Suicide can touch anyone, and there were more than 5,600 cases recorded in 2022 in England and Wales alone. Although there are no official statistics, research by Mental Health First Aid England suggests more than 500 cases a year in the UK could be work-related. There’s a wealth of resources available at the International Association for Suicide Prevention which you can find here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gU7tE4-W 🧡🖤 At Right Now Group, we value the well-being of our colleagues and believe in creating a supportive environment for our team. We also ensure our colleagues know they have a safe space to talk about their challenges if they ever need to. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #worldsuicidepreventionday

WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY Today marks World Suicide prevention Day, this year’s theme is “Changing the Narrative on Suicide” and encourage to “Start the Conversation”. The idea behind this year’s theme is to encourage open conversations to prevent suicides, and to shift the stigma from silence to being open, understanding, and supporting.  H&J Martin are proud to currently have 28 professionally trained mental health first aiders in the organisation. Our specially trained staff can be identified by our green H&J lanyard and are available for our employees to approach and contact whenever they are in need of advice. Here are 3 small steps which could make a massive difference to someone around you: ·       ask them how they are feeling ·       listen to what they have to say and observe ·       offer support for them if they are in a difficult situation By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of support. #wspd #suicideawareness #hjmartin

Today, on World Suicide Prevention Day, I reflect on the importance of open conversations about mental health and the need to combat stigma. This day holds personal significance, reminding me of the impact of mental illness and the necessity of safe spaces for seeking help. As a Digital Crisis Supporter at Lifeline and a member of the Suicide Prevention Australia Lived Experience Panel, I am driven by advocacy for improved mental health policies. Sharing our stories is powerful in reducing isolation and fostering understanding. World Suicide Prevention Day symbolises hope, resilience, and progress in mental health awareness. It's a time to remember, support, and celebrate advancements towards a world that embraces and supports mental well-being. Let's continue to be voices for change and always remember, there is hope in reaching out, especially in the darkest moments. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #MentalHealthAdvocacy #EndTheStigma #WSPD2024 #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealth #WorldSuicidePreventionDay2024

We’ve joined 40+ suicide prevention & mental health organisations in an open letter to call on the Federal Gov to release the National Suicide Prevention Strategy. The National Strategy, which advocates for a whole-of-government approach to suicide prevention, is critical during a time when Australians are struggling with cost-of-living pressures, unemployment and ongoing economic uncertainty.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, a day to reflect on the importance of mental health support and suicide prevention. Every year, more than 720,000 people die by suicide, making it the third leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds. These heartbreaking numbers emphasize the need for early intervention and accessible mental health care. At Triumf Health, we're committed to making a difference. Our game, Triumfland Saga, is now also being used by 23 mental health experts in private practice, and we continue to train a significant portion of specialists to enhance their work through our innovative methodology. We believe that providing children with the right tools early on can create a foundation for resilience and mental well-being. By raising awareness, fostering connection, and expanding access to mental health care, we can take meaningful steps toward preventing suicide and supporting those who need it most. 💙 No one should face this alone. 💙 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #MentalHealthMatters #TriumflandSaga #TogetherForPrevention #Support

#SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthAwareness #CulturalCompetencyinHealthcare September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and I'm highlighting facts that we should all be aware of. According to the Pew Center, the suicide rate among Black adolescents is increasing faster than other racial and ethnic groups. From 2007 to 2020, the suicide rate rose 144% among 10- to 17-year-olds who are Black. Black adolescents are significantly less likely than their peers in other demographic groups to receive mental health care. If you or anyone you know needs help, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255)

September is Suicide Prevention Month Learn more about the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention The 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention is a bold new 10-year, comprehensive, whole-of-society approach to suicide prevention that provides concrete recommendations for addressing gaps in the suicide prevention field. This coordinated and comprehensive approach to suicide prevention at the national, state, tribal, local, and territorial levels relies upon critical partnerships across the public and private sectors. People with lived experience are critical to the success of this work. The National Strategy seeks to prevent suicide risk in the first place; identify and support people with increased risk through treatment and crisis intervention; prevent reattempts; promote long-term recovery; and support survivors of suicide loss.
