Two of our former clients featured in a powerful news item from Channel 5 News on #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, highlighting the importance of talking about suicide. A huge thank you to Connor and Frankie for being a part of this important conversation. 💙

The item formed part of a wider report on the launch of the new toolkit ‘On Your Side’ from The Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales, BSI and Chasing the Stigma (Hub of Hope). The initiative aims to use the power of sport to help tackle the issue of suicide.

It's #WorldSuicidePreventionDay tomorrow, and this year we’re encouraging more people to have life-saving conversations.💙 Take a look at our tips on how you can prepare for a life-saving conversation. Download our shareable World Suicide Prevention Day resources here: bit.ly/4iThGMH
