@LeighFrancis@VirginRadioUK I was mad about Patrick Swayze and Road House was out, my dad god bless his soul asked Blockbusters if we could have not just the poster but the cardboard cutout of the man himself, I was a very happy teenager!
Men, it's okay to:
1/ Talk about our feelings
2/ Ask for help
3/ Show how we really feel
4/ Accept when we are struggling
5/ Reach out for help when we need it
There is still a massive stigma around men’s mental health. We have to change it. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
It’s been 63 years since suicide was decriminalised in the UK. But so many of us still use the term ‘commit suicide’.
Why does it matter? Language that links suicide and crime can increase stigma and prevent people struggling with suicidal thoughts from speaking out.
If we choose language like ‘died by suicide’ or ‘took their own life’ we allow space for open conversations and compassion. Let’s choose our words carefully.
