Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK takes their own life. Together, we can help prevent suicide

One in five people think about killing themselves in their lifetime - one in fifteen attempt doing so. Each suicide is a complex and personal tragedy which devastates those left behind. But there is hope. You can help save lives by talking openly and honestly about suicide. Together, we can help prevent suicide - we just have to ask.

Are you worried about someone? Ask:

Do you need support? Ask:

When you ask someone about suicide, you show that you care. You give them an opportunity to talk openly and start turning towards safety. You can connect them with a network of support, such as friends, family and professional caregivers. When you ask for help, you give yourself a turning point. You allow yourself to get out from underneath overwhelming thoughts and feelings, and become safe for now. Asking for support can help you feel that people do care and there is hope.

We know that talking openly about suicide prevents deaths by suicide. Thats why we just need to ask.

With your support, #AskNowSaveLives will help prevent suicide
