Sheffield City Council has worked to create a suicide prevention campaign – Talking Saves Lives, supported by Sheffield Flourish.

The campaign aims to:

• encourage people to reach out, talk, and seek help if they are struggling with their mental health and/or considering suicide
• inform those struggling with their mental health and/or at risk of suicide that help is available and signpost people to relevant resources
• help people understand and recognise the signs of symptoms of depression/stress before it gets to suicidal thoughts
• educate friends, family, and co-workers on the signs that someone is struggling with their mental health and/or feeling suicidal and empower them to help
• reduce the stigma attached to mental health struggles and suicide by using clear language

What we’d like from you

• A4 posters
