The poster above highlights some vital resources designed to provide support when you need it most. We encourage everyone to take a moment to familiarise yourselves with these services:
❓️ ASK. Are you OK? Sometimes just asking can open the door to a much-needed conversation.
👂 LISTEN. Listening Helps. Being there for someone, truly listening, can make a significant difference.
🙂 TALK. It's Good to Talk. Sharing your thoughts and feelings can lighten the load and help you find solutions.
Please know that these resources are there for you, your friends, and your family. Don't be afraid to reach out to the Lifeline (0808 808 8000 / www.lifelinehelpline.info) or the Samaritans (116 123). Their services are confidential, supportive, and available day or night.

Getting More Help:
If you need more support, please encourage the person to contact their GP, Samaritans, or Lifeline. In crisis or imminent danger, always call 999 or 112, or go to the Emergency Department.
We want to foster an environment where everyone feels comfortable and supported. Speaking from personal experience, reaching out is a brave and important step.
You can also reach out to me directly if you need to talk or are looking for further guidance. Everything we discuss will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
