The latest @calmzone campaign ‘Missed Birthdays’ is truly eye opening.

Today we launched our Missed Birthdays installation live on @thismorning 💚

Each balloon represents a young person who took their own life, and a birthday they didn’t get to celebrate. But there’s always hope. Together, we can end youth suicide.

It can be hard finding the right words to comfort someone who’s grieving but a big hug always helps.

A hug can never be underestimated. It is so simple yet so grounding. It says so many things without having to try and use something as inadequate as language.
