A Message of Hope I want to let you know that things do get better, you don’t have to feel like this. Asking for help is not weak or a failure, it is brave. Keep safe, and call for help now. So many of us have been where you are and are happier than we would have thought possible after getting help.
Don’t suffer in silence. Seeking support is one of the bravest things you can do. If you are unable to access confidential addiction or mental health treatment from local services in England or Scotland, register with NHS Practitioner Health today. #NSMD #HopeThroughAction

Today is National Suicide Memorial Day for Health and Care Workers. We launched this day a year ago to act as a permanent point in the calendar where we could remember friends, colleagues and family members who had struggled with their mental health and who we had lost to suicide. We hope this day serves a way to reflect and honour those people and their vocation, but also importantly acts as a beacon of hope for anyone who is finding life difficult right now and needs to know there are people who care and can help. We would encourage every member of the workforce today to take a moment to look around them, notice how they and their team are doing, to offer a time and place to sit down and talk, and offer hope through those small actions of support and understanding. - Lucy Warner, CEO

Creating Hope Through Action "I feel the most hopeful when I see leaders modelling vulnerability and revealing their own humanity. Connecting with our shared humanity is where change begins." - Dr Jess Morgan, Paediatrician, Educator, and Mental Health Advocate

Feedback Friday I will be forever grateful to Practitioner Health as it was a literal life saver. I was pulled out of a very dark place and without their help and persistence, I wouldn't be here today. It was so easy for my clinician to build rapport with me and gain my confidence which is absolutely crucial for the treatment, management, and recovery in such cases. I cannot praise her enough. She showed incredible patience with me when I am sure others would have given up, and it paid off.
We are proud to have supported health and care professionals from their darkest moments to recovery for over the last 16 years. If you are unable to access confidential mental health or addiction support from local services, register with us today. #NSMD #HopeThroughAction
World Suicide Prevention Day How to Have a Conversation with Someone You Are Worried About Touched by Suicide: A Guide for Health and Care Professionals Content Warning: Mentions of suicide
Ask clearly and directly if they’re thinking about suicide. "Are you thinking about harming yourself?" "Have you had thoughts of suicide?" Stay calm if they say yes - having thoughts does not necessarily mean they will act on them.
Support them to seek help - "Would you like me to support you get help?" Offer to stay with them, make a call together or walk together to get support. Share messages of hope - people can and do recover. Hearing that other people have felt the same and got better makes a difference.
Reassure them that they are not alone and you care. Take your concern seriously and act on it.
TW: Mentions of Suicide
This #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, create #HopeThroughAction by sitting down and having a conversation with someone that may be at potential risk of harming themselves.
If you are in danger of harming yourself or others, call 999 or visit your nearest A&E as soon as possible.
Common Signs of Distress • Persistent low mood, anxiety, hopelessness • Feeling like a burden or losing interest in work/life • Withdrawing from others • Irritability, forgetfulness, complaints or mistakes • Exhaustion, poor sleep, changes in appetite • Using alcohol or medication to cope • "I can’t do this anymore" • "People would be better off without me" • Frequent dark humour or self-deprecation
Many health and care professionals tell us: “Looking back, the signs were there.” Knowing what to look for in yourself and others helps you spot when someone is struggling. This #NSMD, create #HopeThroughAction by equipping yourself with the skills to respond to a suicide-related crisis.
A Message of Hope: National Suicide Memorial Day for Health and Care Workers Please remember that help is ALWAYS available. Even if it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, it doesn't mean there is no light, just that you can't see it right now. If you feel hopeless, it doesn't mean there is no hope. You might want to end your pain, but there are safe ways to get through any situation with the right support. Every life matters. You matter. Even when you can't see this universal truth, it remains true. Share your message of hope here: bit.ly/NSMDMessageOfHope
