Be honest if you are worried about someone. Tell them what your concerns are and let them know that you care about them. Give them time and space to talk about how they are feeling right now.

If you feel that this person may be considering suicide, ask them directly if they are thinking about suicide. This can be a daunting question, but it is safe to ask and helps both of you to be clear about the situation.

Asking about suicide shows that you care enough to want to know how someone really is and gives them permission to talk honestly about a difficult and stigmatised subject.

Help them find the words.❤️

There are many ways you can help prevent suicide. Brighton artist Jess Marie of Beau-Bottletops is raffling off this beautiful art piece to raise vital funds to support our work.

We wouldn't have the impact we do without people like Jess - their support gives people the chance they need to recover from suicidal thoughts and regain their life.❤️

Be extraordinary. Help prevent suicide.
