Here we are again! This time at Preston Park station #brighton telling commuters about @samaritans #SmallTalkSavesLives campaign 💚 Making small talk with someone who looks like they are in distress can be enough to interrupt negative thoughts 💚
@BHSamaritans at #Hove station this morning spreading the importance of #SmallTalkSavesLives campaign & that by reaching out to someone who appears in distress could really make a difference 💚
📣 Did you know: There’s no evidence that starting a conversation with someone who doesn’t seem OK will make things worse 💚
There’s no perfect approach, just do your best 💚
By showing you care and being there, you can make a difference 💚

Starting a conversation could help save someone’s life 💚 🗣️ ☕️ 💚
You might worry about saying the wrong thing or feel like it’s not your place to step in, but it’s always better to say something than to say nothing at all, if you feel safe to do so 💚

If someone doesn’t look OK, looks out of place, or you just feel like something isn’t quite right, start a conversation if you feel safe to do so 💚
A little small talk could save their life 💚 #SmallTalkSavesLives

You don’t have to be an expert to start a conversation with someone who might be struggling to cope 💚
