🎗️ Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.

Never has it been more important to use the word suicide.

Talking about suicide reduces the risk.

It might not be an easy conversation, but if you are worried about a friend or loved one ask them.

"Are you thinking about suicide?"

Three years living in Scotland. What was meant to be a year here has...gotten out of hand 😂 to all the new family and friends I’ve found here, let me tell you that I love you!

[Rory O'Connor @suicideresearch]

If you are concerned that someone you know may be suicidal, please ask them directly whether they have been thinking about suicide.

It could save a life #TimeToTalk
