Today is World Suicide Prevention Day
Did you know that 17 people take their life every day?
Did you know there are no records kept for children under the age of 10 that take their life...yes, this is a tragic fact that children younger than 10 take their lives too. 😢
There may be someone you know who you're worried about and not too sure what to say, it's absolutely ok to ask if they are feeling suicidal. It's a relief for many to talk about how they feel. It's a time when help can and must be sought.
Whilst working for a charity many years ago we were to ask, ‘Do you want to die for today or forever?’
That moment in time may seem incredibly bleak but there is always hope and recovery.
If you feel you can't go on, please talk!
If someone talks, please listen! ♥
