Today is World Su***de Prevention Day💛🎗️
1 in 5 of us will experience suicidal thoughts at some point. It’s more common than people think, and it’s rarely talked about enough.
🎤You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out. Asking for help early is not weakness, it’s what gets people through.🎤
If someone you know seems different lately, quieter, more withdrawn, saying things like “everyone would be better off without me,” trust that instinct. Ask them directly, “Are you thinking about ending your life?” It won’t put the idea in their head. It shows them someone noticed.
You don’t need to have the answers.
❤️💛You just need to listen, take it seriously, and help them find support.❤️💛
If you or someone you know needs support🎗️:
- Samaritans, call 116 123, free and available 24/7
- Shout, text 85258
- Your GP or university wellbeing service (have a look at the student support hub!)
- 999 or A&E in an emergency
