Suicide Awareness – What To Say To A Loved One In Crisis
Suicide is always a difficult topic to discuss. Even when the conversations around mental health and support are opening up, suicide and suicidal thoughts still make a lot of people uncomfortable. But it's a conversation that is absolutely vital to have, especially if someone you know is struggling. Many people we speak to tell us they wouldn't know what to say if someone disclosed suicidal feelings to them, or what kind of support to offer. On top of that, many revealed that they wouldn't recognise the signs if someone was feeling suicidal, so wouldn't feel able to offer support. But with suicide rates on the rise, especially in young people, it's never been more important for you to know the signs, and know what to say to someone in mental health crisis.
