Suicide is a topic that makes many of us nervous; it can feel like the hardest thing in the world.
But talking about suicide is the best way to prevent it from happening.
This is the start of our country’s biggest ever conversation about suicide. 💙

We've launched our new website today. 🧡
Initially you'll find support and advice for adults and young people, plus a services directory we're also building.
You can also view our new campaign, What if a conversation about suicide could save a life?

Every month we bring together local suicide prevention leads to share work that they’re doing, learn from one another and connect as peers.
They tell us that these meetings are a vital source of support and information.
It's inspiring for us to learn about their important work.
🎗️ Today is World Suicide Prevention Day.
Sometimes the hardest words to say are the most important. By having more open conversations, we give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life.

We recently unveiled a new 'Breathing Space' bench at Falkirk High station.
We hope it offers a quiet moment for reflection and supports those who need a space to pause and clear their mind. 💭

👏 Last week we unveiled a new 'Breathing Space' bench at Falkirk High station, in partnership with NHS 24, @Samaritans, and @StoryContractng. It’s one of over 50 in Scotland, offering a place to pause, reflect, and find support for mental health.

@susfloos You all did a fantastic job pulling together the last 2 days! It was great to hear about all the work going on and to share learning. Well done!
@susfloos I try to get some transitional shots to help the flow of the video, but the extent of my video making is reels on instagram so don’t know if I’m qualified to comment! 😂
⏩ Although the devastation of suicidal loss is felt every day of the year, today I am thinking of my own losses and everyone across the world who has been similarly affected by suicide. Take care 🫂
Every day is another day forward ⏩

Moved on to a new venture today, after 8 years in Primary Care. I’ve worked with lots of fantastic people over the year and I’m grateful for all of the support. Looking forward to a new challenge now!
