💛 WORLD SU***DE PREVENTION DAY — 10TH SEPTEMBER 💛

Is a day to remember those we have lost, to hold space for those who are struggling, and to remind each other that no one should have to face difficult moments alone.

Sometimes we don't need the perfect words.

Sometimes simply saying “I'm here”, listening without judgement, or sitting beside someone can make a world of difference. 🫶

🌻 One life lost is too many.
🌻 One person feeling alone is one too many.
🌻 One conversation could make a difference.

Please be gentle with yourself and with those around you. You never truly know what someone may be carrying behind a smile.

💛 Mental Health Friends

Our weekly drop-in is a safe, friendly space to talk, listen, connect and simply be yourself.

📍 Chatty Parrot Cafe
23 Market Place, Brackley

🕐 Every Thursday at 1pm

You don't have to have the right words.

You don't have to explain everything. Just come as you are. 💛

If you are worried about yourself or someone else, please reach out for support.

Let's keep talking.
Let's keep listening.
Let's keep looking out for one another.
Let's remind people that they matter. 💛🫶
