Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide. We believe that suicide is preventable. We've been supporting our local community since 1969, working towards a world where fewer people die by suicide. #Lewisham #Greenwich #Southwark #Samaritans – at London, England

Reminder: It’s OK to ask someone if they’re feeling suicidal. Choose a quiet space, give your full attention, and put your phone down. Ask open questions and listen without judgement. Asking can help them open up and start a conversation that could save their life 💚
