We want to reduce suicide deaths in Wales and improve support for people who self-harm.

Today we launch our new 10-year strategy, working with organisations like @SamaritansCymru

We're also investing £2m in the @SwanseaUni National Centre for Suicide Prevention and Self-harm.

[Samaritans Cymru @SamaritansCymru]

We welcome the launch of the National Centre and its appointment as the Advisory body to the Welsh Government. Having a strong research evidence base for self‑harm and suicide in Wales will help to provide better support and implement good policy.

Here’s your Saturday evening reminder 👇
Self-love isn’t selfish. You deserve kindness, rest, and care - just like anyone else 💙

[HeadsAboveTheWaves @HATW_uk]

We all have that little voice in our heads that loves to tear us down—but you don’t have to listen to it. Here's some tips on how to challenge your inner critic and take back control 👇

Or heck. Don’t even make it need to cost money. Maybe it’s booking a night in to watch your favourite movie from under a pillow fort. Or planning a day a week or so from now where you’ll have your favourite meal for dinner

[HeadsAboveTheWaves @HATW_uk]

If January is feeling extra January right now, something that might help is planning something to look forward to in the future.
It might just be the thing that pulls you through a dark day.

[HeadsAboveTheWaves @HATW_uk]

It *can* be something like planning a holiday etc, but it doesn’t have to be a big thing. Arrange a coffee date with a pal you haven’t seen for a minute.

[HeadsAboveTheWaves @HATW_uk]

Maybe you’re trying to make too big of a change in one go. Stop trying to make a huge change overnight and start focussing on small, achievable things that are within your immediate control.

It’s about changing 1% at a time, not changing 100% overnight.
