Thanks to Hannah Lattimer for sharing her feedback on why X/Twitter is still a valuable platform for @samaritans ๐
We'd love to hear if your charity still calls X, Twitter, and if you are planning to keep posting in 2024! Let us know ๐

This piece featuring my wonderful colleague raises important awareness of critical failings in healthcare for women going through the loss of a baby.
Sadly, Emmaโs story is not uncommon. Something drastically needs to change.
Grateful to @NicolaBryan2 for covering this in such a sensitive way.
Compassionate care for those experiencing baby loss is really lagging in Wales & that needs to change. Iโll be discussing this with @AneurinBevanUHB
Really inspired by everyone who shared their experience โค๏ธ
It was great to be outside parliament with @samaritans this week, demonstrating just how little local suicide prevention could cost ft. giant props ๐ช
โ One week left: will the Government make the right decision?
Weโre outside Parliament today reminding them that local suicide prevention funding for England would only cost ยฃ1.40 per person. Thereโs no excuse to not keep it going. BIG change starts with small change! 1/2
Loved playing a small part in this beautiful content, which celebrates an incredible 70 years of listening ๐
@samaritans volunteers always make me feel so proud ๐
On 2 Nov 1953, Samaritans answered our first call โ๏ธ
70 years on, we're more needed than ever. Last year, there wasn't a single second when our volunteers weren't on the phone.
No matter how much time passes, the core of what we do stays the same: We're always here to listen ๐
Research tells us that LGBTQ+ people are at a higher risk of suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts and self-harm compared to people who arenโt LGBTQ+.
But, being LGBTQ+ isnโt a risk in itself, itโs often because of experiences LGBTQ+ people may have ๐งต

The language we use about mental health matters. Itโs important not to stigmatise people when theyโre reaching out for help. It adds barriers for other people who might be hesitant to open up.
