🖤 SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH 🖤

PLEASE TAKE A COUPLE OF MINUTES TO WATCH THIS VIDEO.

🎥 “Check In On Those Around You” — Norwich City FC

👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX8TgVR33KM

Please watch it all the way to the end.

Because the person you think is okay…

might not be.

The person who is always smiling…

might be struggling.

The person who makes everyone else laugh…

might be fighting a battle nobody knows about.

And that's why we need to talk about su***de.

---

🗣️ IT'S OKAY TO TALK.

It's okay to say:

“I'm struggling.”

“I'm not coping.”

“I'm not okay.”

“I need some help.”

You don't have to wait until you're at breaking point.

You don't have to have the right words.

And you certainly don't have to pretend everything is okay when it isn't.

IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY.

If you're struggling, tell someone.

A friend.
A family member.
A colleague.
Your GP.
A support organisation.

Or simply pick up the phone and talk.

🚨 IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT SU***DE

PLEASE DON'T FACE IT ALONE.

📞 Samaritans — 116 123
Free, confidential and available 24/7.

📞 NHS 111 — Option 2
For urgent mental-health support.

🚨 999 / A&E
If you or someone else is in immediate danger.

You don't need to have the perfect explanation.

JUST TELL SOMEONE WHAT'S HAPPENING.

👊 ANDY'S MAN CLUB

For men who are struggling:

You don't need to be suicidal to come along.

You don't even have to know exactly what's wrong.

Andy’s Man Club provides free peer-to-peer support for men aged 18+.

A place to talk.

A place to listen.

A place to realise:

“I'm not the only one.”

Every Monday at 7pm, except bank holidays.



Sometimes taking that first step is the hardest part.

Take it anyway.

---

🐉 IF YOU'VE LOST SOMEONE TO SU***DE

Su***de doesn't just affect the person who dies.

It leaves behind partners, parents, children, brothers, sisters, friends and communities trying to make sense of something that can feel impossible to understand.

If you're in Devon, Pete's Dragons provide specialist su***de-bereavement support.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GRIEVE ALONE.

🖤 CHECK ON YOUR PEOPLE.

Don't just ask:

“You alright?”

while you're already walking away.

Actually stop.

Look at them.

Ask again.

“Are you REALLY alright?”

And if they say no…

LISTEN.

You don't need to fix them.

You don't need all the answers.

You just need to let them know:

“I'm here.”

One conversation.

One phone call.

One message.

One coffee.

One person choosing to reach out.

IT COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING.

So please…

CHECK ON YOUR MATES.

CHECK ON YOUR FAMILY.

CHECK ON THE PERSON WHO HAS GONE QUIET.

CHECK ON THE PERSON WHO ALWAYS SAYS THEY'RE FINE.

And if that's YOU…

Please hear this:

❤️ YOU MATTER.

❤️ YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN.

❤️ YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

❤️ THERE IS HELP.

❤️ IT'S OKAY TO TALK.

❤️ IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY.

Please share this post.

You genuinely never know who might see it at exactly the moment they need it.
