[Grassroots Suicide Prevention @GrassrootsSP]

When talking to someone about suicide, listening is one of the most helpful things you can do. Try not to judge or give advice.

It is important to remember that it’s not your responsibility to change the person’s mind about suicide, and to know that just being there will help.❤️

3/3 If you have a suggestion for a new name, please email [email protected]. We’re launching a wider consultation to ensure children of foster carers and people with lived experience support the new name and we also want to hear from our members. Please get in touch!

[The Fostering Network @fosteringnet]

2/3 We want our campaign to address every young person whose parents foster. We want each and every one to feel seen and heard - not just as an integral part of the fostering family, but as people. And for that we need your help.

[The Fostering Network @fosteringnet]

1/3 This #SADM we're not only celebrating the children of foster carers, we're also kick-starting vital change. We're looking for a new name for Sons and Daughters Month going forwards - one that's more inclusive and replaces the gendered terminology we use now.

[Foster Talk @FosterTalk]

Relationships are the biggest agents of change...
Never underestimate the impact you can make on others, make the most of the interactions you have with others as you don’t know what might stick with them.

[Grassroots Suicide Prevention @GrassrootsSP]

Research has shown that the language we use has real effects on our levels of acceptance and tolerance for people living with mental health issues.

By swapping out harmful language we can make a huge difference, with minimal effort.❤️

[Stressed Teens @StressedTeens]

Awareness and action go hand-in-hand. While we don't have complete control over our stressors, we can lighten our loads where possible and pivot our reactions.
