Surviving attempted suicide can lead to stigma, shame and guilt

I speak to ‎@GBNewsOnline as a survivor of attempted suicide, on the difficulties faced and how support is lacking for those experiencing suicidal thoughts and following an attempt. There is help and support available for those in crisis and I urge you to reach out for help as soon as you begin experiencing dark thoughts and don't wait until you're in crisis.

Something incredible happens when I speak to hundreds of people

Before I delivered my talk, when Baton of Hope visited Milton Keynes, I got a full room of over 300 strangers to say to one another; "You are worthy and I believe in you" Suicide prevention isn't just about what the governmens responsibility, it's also about our own individual responsibilities and what we do, say and how we treat others. We all have a part to play in saving people's lives 💚 #SuicidePrevention #SuicideSurvivors #BatonOfHopeUk #CommunityMatters #SupportOthers #BeKind #Hope #DisabledAdventurer #DisabilityAdvocate #SharedExperiences #LivedExperience
