Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it! (views my own, donโt like them, donโt follow me ๐)
It's world suicide prevention day. 400,000 people in England alone consider taking their own life due to financial problems. 100,000 attempt it.
Today @MMHPI is launching the first Suicide Prevention Lab. Where Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, Monzo & Nationwide have agreed to join us to pilot new approaches to preventing suicide.
Banks don't cause all these problems, but they are in a unique central position in peopleโs financial lives, and we want to see if itโs possible to take advantage of that to be able to spot when customers are in trouble and urgently direct them to the right support.
We aim to get under the bonnet to find the gaps, test new ways to identify and support people in crisis, and drive change not just with those whoโve signed up but right across the sector.
The fact itโs a Lab is important, thereโs a lot to learn here to maximise how and when to safely and considerately use the data, when and how to intervene. potentially save lives.

๐ Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.
This powerful video from Norwich City highlights just how many people suffer in silence when they donโt have to.
It's time to change the narrative on suicide. If youโre struggling, call Samaritans on: 116 123.

Thereโs still no kettle emoji. Absolutely outrageous. An appliance that keeps the whole of Britain going, despite it all, and Apple canโt even recognise it. Iโm not angry, Iโm just disappointed.

From a man named Jordan Levick. Incredible must read:
I am not a Swiftie, but I am a human being, a Dad AND, a Monstrous Football fan.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards. How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW โฆ
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag and to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DONโT CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women, they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it.
Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.
