🌟 NEW PROJECT LAUNCH!
TCD HEALTHY FUTURES 🌟

We are excited to announce the launch of our brand-new TCD Healthy Futures Programme, funded by Healthy Working Life

Starting Monday 12th October, this exciting new project will support adults aged 18 and over across Kirklees who are economically inactive and facing barriers to moving forward.

Who is it for?

The programme is for people aged 18+ who are not currently working or actively seeking work.

Whether you’re experiencing poor mental health, social isolation, low confidence, long-term health conditions or simply feeling stuck, we’re here to help.

What will the programme offer?

* 💬 Peer support and wellbeing sessions
* 🧘 Movement and physical wellbeing activities
* 🎨 Creative activities and confidence-building workshops
* 🤝 Opportunities to meet people and build social connections
* 🌱 Volunteering opportunities
* 💚 One-to-one wellbeing and progression support
* 💼 Help exploring training, skills development and future employment opportunities

Our aim is to provide a safe, friendly and supportive environment where you can build confidence, improve your wellbeing, develop new skills and take positive steps towards your future.

There is no pressure and no judgement. Everyone’s journey is different, and we’ll support you at your own pace.

Whether your goal is to improve your wellbeing, make new friends, try volunteering, learn new skills or eventually return to work, we’re here to support you.

📅 STARTING: Monday 12th October 2026

📍 LOCATION: Jo Cox House, 90 Commercial Street, Batley, WF17 5DS

💜 WORLD SU***DE PREVENTION DAY | 10 SEPTEMBER 💜
Today is a day to pause, to remember, to listen — and most importantly, to reach out.

Su***de can affect individuals, families and communities in ways we may never see. Behind closed doors, someone could be struggling with thoughts and feelings they haven’t shared with anyone.

That’s why connection matters.

A message.
A phone call.
A cup of coffee.
Sitting beside someone.
Asking how they really are.

It might feel like a small thing to you, but to someone who is struggling, knowing that somebody cares can mean so much. 💜

And if your instinct tells you that someone isn’t quite themselves, ASK TWICE. Sometimes that second question is the one that opens the door to an important conversation.

Today, don’t just think about su***de prevention.

Be part of it.

Notice the people around you.
Make the call you’ve been meaning to make.
Send the message.
Start the conversation.
And if someone tells you they’re struggling, listen without judgement.

You don’t have to solve everything.

Sometimes, simply reminding someone that they don’t have to face things alone is a powerful place to start.

💜 Today, let’s turn awareness into action.

Check in. Ask twice. Reach out. Listen. Stay connected.

💜 Some news within the mental health and su***de prevention sector hits particularly hard, and hearing that PAPYRUS has entered administration is one of those moments.

For organisations like ours, this is a stark reminder of how fragile vital support services can be, despite the incredible difference they make to people’s lives every single day.

Behind PAPYRUS is a community of dedicated people who have spent years raising awareness, challenging stigma, educating others and standing alongside young people when they needed someone to listen.

The uncertainty surrounding HOPELINE247 is especially worrying. We know there will be young people and families who are asking where they can turn and what happens next.

At TCD, we stand alongside everyone feeling the impact of this news today. We also want to recognise every person who has played a part in the PAPYRUS journey — your commitment and the difference you have made will always be part of the story.

This is a difficult day for su***de prevention. 💜

💜 ASK TWICE — KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING
Our ASK TWICE message doesn’t stop at one day.

Sometimes, asking someone how they are is the easy part.

The harder part can be noticing when their words, body language or behaviour suggest that something might not be quite right.

That’s when asking twice can make a difference.

💬 “How are you?”

If they say, “I’m fine” but something tells you otherwise…

💬 “Are you sure? I’m here if you want to talk.”

You don’t need to have all the answers.

You don’t need to be an expert.

Sometimes, simply giving someone the space to talk — and letting them know you genuinely care — can be incredibly powerful. 💜

So, as we continue to raise awareness around su***de prevention and mental health, let’s keep checking in with the people around us.

Ask once.
Ask twice.
Listen.
Be there. 💜

Who could you check in with today?

💜 ASK TWICE

Sometimes when we ask someone how they are, they simply say:

“I’m fine.”

But sometimes “I’m fine” doesn’t mean everything really is fine.

This week, on 10th September – World Su***de Prevention Day, TCD is encouraging everyone to ASK TWICE.

💬 “How are you?”

And if something doesn’t feel quite right…

💬 “Are you really okay?”

Take the time to listen.
Don’t judge.
Don’t try to fix everything.
Just be there.

You never know how much that second question might mean to someone.

Who will you ASK TWICE today? 💜
