We are delighted to congratulate 25 new Connections Ambassadors from the NHS Northern Health and Social Care Trust who completed their Su***de Prevention Training with our Senior Ambassador, Michelle yesterday.

Michelle really appreciated your openness, engagement and the group discussions about this important topic.

We co-created a safe space to explore the myths, taboos and stigmas, whilst learning the protective factors and skills required to help someone save their own life.

Together we can all make a difference. ❤️

Today's the perfect excuse to spread a little extra kindness 🌎✨

Kindness doesn't have to be big or expensive - sometimes the smallest things mean the most. A note. A compliment. A message. A moment of care.

If you're not sure where to start, try one of these today:
💛 Leave a positive note for someone to find
💛 Compliment a stranger
💛 Check in on a friend you haven't spoken to in a while
💛 Donate to a charity you care about
💛 Be kind to yourself too

You never know what someone is carrying - your small act could be the bright spot in their whole week ✨
