How to start a conversation about suicide
This year’s World Suicide Prevention Day focuses on 'Changing the Narrative on Suicide,' with a call to 'Start the Conversation'.
Talking about suicide can reduce stigma and removes barriers to help-seeking, making those experiencing suicidal thoughts feel less isolated and more able to seek the support they need.
"Texting Shout was one of the easiest forms of support I’ve ever accessed"
Having a text conversation with a Shout Volunteer allowed Sophie to be more open about how she was feeling and the resources she was given helped when she next struggled with intrusive thoughts.
