National Su***de Prevention Month
September is National Su***de Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness, encourage open conversations and remind people that support is available.
Su***de can affect anyone, and sometimes the people who are struggling may not show any obvious signs. A simple “How are you really doing?” could be the start of an important conversation.
You don't need to have all the answers. Listening without judgement, showing compassion and helping someone find support can make a real difference.
If you or someone you know is struggling, there is help available:
Samaritans – call 116 123, free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Shout – text SHOUT to 85258 for free, confidential support by text, 24/7.
NHS 111 – call 111 and select the mental health option for urgent mental health support.
If someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical attention, call 999 or go to A&E.
At Rodericks Dental Partners, we believe looking after people means creating a culture where talking about mental health is normal, asking for help is encouraged and people feel supported.
Start the conversation. Listen. Check in. Look out for one another.
