James Barton and Paul Samain connect for #WSPD

Every 40 seconds, someone in the world takes their own life. This huge worldwide tragedy is something that is being tackled by organisations across the globe – including Southern Health. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and we’re asking you to show your commitment via social media.

All you have to do is:
• Simply download and print this certificate
• Get together with a colleague or a friend and write your names on the certificate
• Take a ‘selfie’ of you and your colleague holding the certificate
• Attach your photo to an email and send to with ‘#connectingwith for World Suicide Prevention Day’ in the subject line, leaving the body of the email blank.

We are joining this campaign in partnership with Connecting With People, an organisation which produces resources and training to help people cope with extreme thoughts and emotions and reduce self-harm.
