Get involved in the suicide prevention campaign
There are lots of things you can do to get involved in the campaign.
Make suicide everyone's business
This could look different depending on who you are.
If you are a business owner, you could look at implementing into your mandatory training.
We also have our 3 hour Orange Button training scheme.
If you have a workplace or attend school, you could put up posters that signpost to crisis support.
Check in on family and friends
If this campaign has made you think of someone in particular that you are worried about - take action by checking in on them. Ask them about suicide.
