Fancy using your evidence skills to help @samaritans be evidence-led, so we can effectively support those who need us, and help to prevent suicide?

Blue Monday is just a marketing gimmick that feeds unhelpful stereotypes about mental health. Retweet and let's all agree, it can get in the bin ๐๏ธ

*Please note: discussion of suicide* Our research suggests a relationship between an increasing number of problem debts and an increasing risk of suicide. With the #CostOfLivingCrisis affecting so many of us, weโre concerned by what the winter may bring. 1/3
ALT Chief Executive Helen Undy with quote "We know that feeling unable to cope, or unable to see a way out, can be a risk for suicidal feelings. The very widespread nature of these feelings right across the UK population back in May should give real cause for concern."

If youโre worried about someone, asking them about suicidal feelings wonโt make things worse, evidence shows it could protect them. Asking gives them permission to open up and work through their feelings. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
