A different photo today for #davesdailyphoto. A picture of trees at sunset. Here I deliberately moved the camera vertically, making the trees look on fire, with their memories behind. A reminder of our fragile planet. @DWMHNHS #environnement #photography

We ask 'what actions will get the suicide numbers down?'
We hear "must do something in #schools"
Many others hear the same
@3dadswalking petitioned for #SuicidePrevention in schools & got 170K signatures

To mark #NationalPoetryDay, our own David Stocks has written a poem called ‘(Un)Spoken Words’ about the therapeutic power of poetry.

Hi All, we are hosting our first in-person poetry group on the 10/10/23. The group is called (un)spoken word, as too often peoples mental health is not talked about, this group helps unspoken words be spoken. All welcome, it is also a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.”
We talk a lot in #SuicidePrevention about hopelessness, less about the uniquely human feeling of hope, and how it protects us.
So, for no other reason, Emily Dickinson’s unforgettable poem.
