Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. NKM has decided to mark this day by sharing some guidance on how to ask someone if they are having suicidal thoughts.

As a community, we need to become more confident in talking about su***de. Through open conversations and safe spaces, we can help people access the support they need.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or if you are concerned that someone else may be, please do not struggle in silence. Support is available.

What an amazing effort!

This incredible group has not only raised over £3,000 for North Kent Mind, South Kent Mind, and Young Lives Foundation - YLF, but has also covered an impressive 5,689km.

This remarkable achievement demonstrates the impact that a small group of people can have on their community. By supporting these three charities, you are helping to spread the message that everyone facing mental health challenges deserves both support and respect ✊

We thank you for all your hard work. To everyone who donated, your contribution will not only provide vital mental health support within your community, but it will also change lives.
