Your pledge

My pledge is to help others become more aware of the help and support that is available for them if they are feeling suicidal and to get people talking more about a topic that is seen as inappropriate to discuss.

I pledge to encourage and support others so they feel able to speak up about mental health to help reduce stigma and normalise conversations about suicide.

I want to be someone people trust, I want to be someone anyone could come to even if they don't know me well. I want to ask those difficult questions other people won't ask.

I pledge to talk openly about mental health and suicide and to challenge stigma.

My pledge is to continue to talk openly to people, asking them questions about how they feel and continue to listen with empathy and no judgement. I will offer support where needed and try to keep people safe.

To create a safe space for people to speak openly about mental health. To listen to people talk about mental health and help them to know that it’s ok not to be ok.

I pledge to use my voice to strengthen the message that our mental health is as valid and important as our physical health, that we show strength rather than weakness when we open up and disclose how we feel and that it is both legitimate and essential to actively practice self-care and self-compassion in order to help stay mentally healthy and more resilient.

To provide a safe space where people can explore their feelings about self-harm and suicide free of judgement, and to improve the confidence of volunteers to navigate those discussions.

My pledge is to be aware of people who may be displaying signs of poor mental health and start a conversation with them to try and help.

I pledge to talk honestly about my own suicide attempts and the battle I fight to keep going. To share the positive power of speaking up as I now have a safety net of supportive people who are aware and help hold my hope when I can't see any.

Ensure those, especially men, know that mental illness is not a weakness and that by being open, life quality is hugely improved.
People with mental illness will be able to take great responsibilities, assist others and communities, which in turn promotes greater health for them.

Start conversations around supporting mental health to make everybody feel heard.

Challenge stigma and encourage open conversations about suicide and mental health

To make time for people showing signs of suicide to make sure they feel listened to and know where to go to get access to support they need.
