World Su***de Prevention Day, 10 September
Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. We don't always find the right moment to talk about this, so we're making one.
As a member of the Hull and East Yorkshire Mind Business Wellbeing Charter, looking after wellbeing isn't just something we say, it's something we build into how we work.
But today isn't really about a charter or a framework. It's simpler than that. It's about checking in on someone. Asking twice if the first answer felt off. Sitting with someone in a hard conversation instead of steering away from it.
Anyone can be affected by suicidal thoughts, whatever their situation, job, or background. You don't need to have the right words. You just need to be willing to ask and willing to listen.
If you're struggling, or worried about someone who might be, support is available:
Samaritans: 116 123 (free, 24/7)

Thank you to the team at Hull and East Yorkshire Mind for the work they do across our region, today and every day.
