World Suicide Prevention Day

World Suicide Prevention DayEvery year organisations around the world get together to raise awareness about suicide prevention. Today that is what Mentally Yours is doing… The latest suicides statistics showed that in 2018, in the UK and Ireland, more than 6,800 people died by suicide. Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy and we know that suicide is preventable, it’s not inevitable.On this special episode, Yvette chats with Andy Baines-Vosper. They discuss how to ask difficult questions, the power of listening and the resources available for people in need. Whatever you're going through, a Samaritan will face it with you - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
