World Suicide Prevention Day

'Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by suicide and 1 in 4 of us have had suicidal thoughts'

These statistics will be all over your timelines today and they should not be ignored, Northern Ireland has one of the highest rates of suicide in the UK and Ireland and it is on us all to look after each other.

This #Worldsuicidepreventionday the Samaritans campaign is pushing the important message, if you think someone might be struggling, might be suicidal take action.

Kindness is not just a buzz word to be used on social media, kindness is demonstratable in your actions every single day.

Taking 5 minutes to have a chat with someone whose struggling, picking up the phone and giving them a quick call, those small actions can make a big difference.

If you think someone might be suicidal, take action, interrupt their thoughts and show them you care.  To find out how, visit samaritans.org/WSPD
