After it being brought up by MK in another thread I thought it a good idea to have a sticky thread with a few contact details for people.
Mental Health and Depression is a massive issue in the world today and lots of people take their own life. These people sometimes don’t know about the support that is out there to help put them on the road to recovery.
As someone who has had to live with people close to me with depression and having done qualifications in Mental heath there is loads of support out there. But I only know about that support through courses I have done and they don’t seem to be advertised to the wider public.
For those of you who are lonely, feeling a bit down or really suffering there are people out there to talk too.
https://www.samaritans.org/
The obvious one, they now have a dedicated free phone number which is pretty easy to remember:
116 123
If you don’t fancy talking to someone on the phone a really great website I learnt about on course is:
https://www.bigwhitewall.com/v2/Home.aspx?ReturnUrl=/
They have lots of professionals who are there to help you and give advice.
And finally talk to people, don’t suffer in silence. As a mental health first aider and someone who deals with trauma risk management mainly dealing with PTSD. My inbox is always open, so if you ever want to chat to someone I am here.
Mental health isn’t something be ashamed of, if you need help it is available!
