Our director Julia had a great morning with David @listeningwalker as he stopped in on his 12000 miles walk around Samaritans branches. Good luck David - you are an inspiration. @samaritans @SamaritansScot

Listen up: It's time to stop whispering about suicide.

We are losing too many to silence. Help us shout about saving lives today, on #SamaritansAwarenessDay.

Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.

[Samaritans @samaritans]

New data shows a concerning rise in suicidal thoughts, attempts and self-harm in the last decade. Suicidal thoughts have increased to 1 in 4 up from a previous 1 in 5. It’s clear that investment in suicide prevention is non-negotiable.

[Samaritans @samaritans]

Your words are a life-saving kit. If you see someone who doesn’t look OK, a little small talk could save their life. Anyone can do it.

Loneliness can affect anyone and reaching out can make a big difference.

If you sense someone might be feeling isolated, trust your instincts and start a conversation.

💬 Be there.
💚 Reassure them.
🕰 Be patient.

🧶 We're proud to launch our brand new official tartan, ‘Samaritartan’, this Burns Day!

Samaritartan symbolises all of our lives, intertwined, connected & often touched by suicide in some way 💚

🎥 @ScribePedersen helps us tell the story of our tartan with a beautiful new poem

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us for Brew Monday yesterday. 💚☕

Remember, there’s always time for a cuppa and a catch up with a mate! Let’s make sure we keep making time to properly check in with each other, all through the year.

[Edinburgh Samaritans @EdinSamaritans]

The tea chart has spoken! Do you agree with your #BrewMonday drink or are you ready to kick off in the comments? 🤣 Honestly, we’re just trying to get your attention before Brew Monday tomorrow! It’s not really about the drink, it’s about making time for a catch up together.

[Samaritans Scotland @SamaritansScot]

‼️ Blue Monday? Nope, not real – completely made up!

Checking in with each other? Yes excellent, that’s where it’s at! 💚

Get involved in #BrewMonday by grabbing a cuppa and check in with someone you love! ☕️
