💬 “The Changing Room completely transformed my life, and it all started with a conversation about mental health.”

Last year, 805 people died by suicide in Scotland – each one of these deaths represents a life that ended too early.
In the run-up to #WorldSuicidePreventionDay on Friday, we’re sharing our new ‘Suicide…How to Ask?’ card to help start the conversation: samh.org.uk/about-mental-hea…

The views of those with lived experience should be at the heart of our efforts to prevent suicide.

How many Mental Health First Aiders have we qualified so far in 2021?
We'll give you a clue... or better yet the answer!
It's been an absolute pleasure training some wonderful cohorts over the last 6 months. It has been a pleasure of a journey so far.

🌼 RECO - HOPE - VERY 🌼
Hope is central to recovery. It allows us to flourish into what we know we can be. It helps us to aspire towards new, rather than focusing on the here and now. Hope allows us to see beyond the mere 'tomorrow' and look further into the future.

STIGMA...
Made up of 3 elements:
🟣 Ignorance (Lack of Knowledge)
🔵 Prejudice (Mistaken Attitudes)
⚪ Discrimination (Unhelpful or Damaging Behaviour)
Stigma may cause someone to admit they are struggling, postpone seeking help and / or self-stigmatise.
