Suicide prevention day is here again!
A reminder that it’s ok to talk about mental health, and to check in on friends.
Matt smiled a lot, he was the life and soul of the party! Those that smile may not be ok. Ask and ask again. 💚✨

At least one woman a week is killed by a current or former partner.
@jessphillipsmp's decade long commitment to honouring the names of women suspected of being killed by men each year, shows how urgent action from the government to confront this national emergency is.
"This is the tenth year I have read this list"
Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips reads names of women killed by men over the last year in the UK
It takes her more than four minutes

A potentially fatal incident was averted at NUH thanks to the quick actions of our A&E staff and a prompt response from @nottspolice.
Laura McSorley said, “My main focus was ensuring everyone in the department was safe. Aggression, violence, and harassment have no place at NUH. We’re committed to maintaining a safe, respectful environment for all.”

We’re sorry to hear that @DWindass10 has been diagnosed with #dementia. 💙
By choosing to speak openly and publicly about his diagnosis, he will undoubtedly encourage others to seek support if they are concerned about symptoms they may be experiencing.

Our animation ‘Puddle Jumping’ aims to help adults understand how grieving children can seem to move in and out of their grief, a bit like they’re jumping in and out of a puddle. 💦
Puddle jumping is normal and means a child is learning to cope with their grief.

Did you know that British Sign Language users can make 999 calls by video via a mobile app?
The '999 BSL' app lets users communicate with an on-screen interpreter.
