1 in 4 of us will experience suicidal thoughts in our lifetime.
It’s likely that if you haven’t experienced them yourself, someone you know has, so it’s important to shed some light on what they are and how you can support someone going through them.
You can speak to us if:
🟢 You’re having thoughts of harming yourself
🟢 You’re trying to distract yourself from self-harming
🟢 You have self-harmed
We’re here to listen, whatever you’re dealing with at the moment 📱 116 123
#SelfHarmAwarenessDay
People experiencing self-harm deserve to get the support they need.
Nobody should be excluded from mental health support because they self-harm. But unfortunately that’s what’s been happening.🧵
Following several recent enquiries/complaints about our noise….

💬 Intrusive thoughts can be severely debilitating and hard to ignore.
It's important that we know the facts on them so that we can speak to a health professional if we experience them 👇 (1/5)
@CliveSmith3000@TheMarkETurner I needed that, thank you.
My last Christmas shift was in 2020, hour 24. My next will be in 2024 when we open again.
Most rewarding thing I've done is listen to people🌹
Happy holiday,
Josh.
This #Christmas, take some time to listen to the quieter one in the family.
They may have a louder voice than you.
Merry Christmas from @ConversingCare Team 🎄
See you in 2024 👀
We're thinking of everyone finding this festive season difficult 💚 Remember that we're always here to listen, if you'd like to talk things through.

This is new data from NHS England published this week. It confirms that the crisis in young people’s mental health is deepening – and has become a mental health emergency.
For the past decade we have repeatedly called out the Government for not taking enough action. Year after the year these statistics get worse, yet no radical change happens. They have lost their grip on this emergency and are failing young people as a result.
We can’t continue to let this escalate.
The Government must tackle the reasons why so many young people are struggling with their mental health. Right now, they can make a difference by making sure every community has an early support hub so that young people can get help as soon as they need it.
On top of that, we need a plan that is ambitious enough to end the mental health emergency – a plan with a focus on preventing poor mental health, as well as investing in and improving services.
Today the Government could have decided to save vital local suicide prevention funding, at just £1.40 per person it wasn’t too much to ask. But instead they’ve made the choice to sit back and watch as it comes to an end. This is unacceptable. 1/3
@DrEmmaNielsen @NottsHealthcare@suicideresearch@SelfHarmRes@ProfLAppleby@NCISH_UK Very sad to see this. I hope things are a little better for you. We aren't operating at the moment but please contact our email @ConversingCare and we can have a chat if needed.
The system is broken. Please reach out to local charities like your nearest Mind branch.
Best, Josh.
