If you take one thing from World Suicide Prevention Day today it should be this: if you think someone isn’t OK, ask them about it. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You could even save their life.
Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.
In 2022, West Ham fan Gary Billings tragically took his own life.
During #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we remember Gary and the work his loved ones have done to raise mental health awareness.
This is Gary's story.
It’s #TimeToTalk Day on 2 February. It’s a chance for all of us to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives.
We want everyone to make space in their day for a conversation about mental health on #TimeToTalk Day. How will you have your conversation?
On days like #SuicidePrevention , promoting positive mental health is of vital importance.

I make absolutely no apology for saying this here. Prompt CPR and defibrillation saves lives.
If you don't know how, it's a skill worth learning, even if you (hopefully) will never need to use it.
