Suicide is a topic that makes many of us nervous; it can feel like the hardest thing in the world. But talking about suicide is the best way to prevent it from happening. This is the start of our country’s biggest ever conversation about suicide. 💙 🔗 SuicidePrevention.scot

🏔️ The Hoy Hills in #Orkney reward hillwalkers with panoramic views over the archipelago, back to Mainland Scotland, and to the Atlantic Ocean. This was yesterday on the summit of Cuilags.

🗣️ I recently spoke to @NHS24 on a period I went through 7 years ago when struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. Two big things in my recovery - not bottling things up and the mental health benefits of the outdoors & exercise. Full video ➡️ youtu.be/L-2nwUAif7I

We know how hard it can be to find the right words to talk openly about how we’re feeling, especially with our friends and family. Our volunteers are here to give you the space to explore your feelings without judgement, and help you find the words. 💚 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

Don’t underestimate the role walking, sports or exercise can play in improving mental health. Hillwalking helped me in a huge way when experiencing depression and suicidal thoughts. 🥾⛰️ Me speaking to @BBCScotland in 2019 👇 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
