As the pressures on our frontline workers continue, so must our resolve to stand beside them - not just in words, but in meaningful support.

We’re excited for what’s ahead. Because when partners for change unite, the impact multiplies.

We're a bit emosh & HUGELY grateful to Aberfeldy Drama Club in Scotland who very generously donated their ticket sales of £1000 to us.

They staged 'Tending' - a play about NHS nurses during Covid. This will really make a difference.

Do give them a Facebook follow: www.facebook.com/aberfeldydra...

"One call handler described the impact of the crisis: “It was probably the toughest thing I’ve ever done […] I was coming home and standing in the corridor taking my uniform off and running in the shower, and sobbing my heart out day after day after day.”

A very important day in the calender for those of us working to support healthcare professionals.

Today we should not only remember those we've lost, but seek to do better to make sure that no healthcare worker ever feels that ending their life is the only option left.

The 17th of September is the National Suicide Memorial Day for Health and Care Workers. Today, will remember those we have tragically lost, reflect on their lives, and take action to help create a future where no more lives are lost to suicide. #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

Please sign & share - it takes a minute, but could make a real difference.

Patients are waiting in undignified pain, while staff are dealing with the trauma of moral distress that comes from not being able to treat people as they were trained to do.

Both patients and staff deserve so much better.

On #WorldSuicidePreventionDay we pause to reflect.
Because of our support, at least 75 frontline workers have been saved from suicide.

Behind every number is a person - a nurse, doctor, paramedic - who is still here. With your help, we can be there for even more.
