What if a conversation about suicide could save a life?
Suicide Prevention Scotland have launched a new campaign which invites you to get involved in Scotland’s biggest-ever conversation about suicide.
Suicide is a topic that makes many of us nervous; it can feel like the hardest thing in the world to ask someone about. But did you know that talking about suicide is one of the best ways to prevent if from happening.
The ‘What if’ campaign has been co-produced by people with lived and living experience of suicide, and follows the principles of Time Space Compassion. It is led by four extraordinary people – Seonaid, Clare, Laura and Ross – who all have experience of suicide. They’ve either lost a loved one, made an attempt or planned to take their life. They have all shared their own stories, and in particular how they found hope.
If you can just hang on for one more day, that day will turn into two. Before you know it, you will have managed to stay alive for longer than you ever imagined.
We’re proud to be part of Scotland’s biggest-ever conversation about suicide — and we’re encouraging you to join in, because every voice matters.
