Su***de is still the biggest killer of people under 35 in the UK.

It's a fact that's hard to sit with. But it's one we refuse to look away from.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we're reminded that awareness matters. It's what starts conversations. It's what brings people to us. It's what gives families the courage to ask the question they've been too frightened to ask.

But awareness has to lead to action. And that's where we come in.

Nearly 30 years of answered calls. Of trained communities. Of young people who found us when they needed us most. That's what action looks like for Papyrus.
This week and every week, we're here. 💜

I saw this today from and I really felt it.

I never understood until it happened to me.

All the meaningless platitudes I had used to people who were grieving. All the things that I should have said and done differently.

As a society we don’t talk about grief, we don’t really listen when other people talk about it. We don’t know how to process it.

We don’t understand it. We don’t express it. We don’t know how to talk about it or respond when others do.

It happens to us all, someone we love will die someday, but we are not prepared for it. We think it’s just a short period of time we experience until we feel better.

The truth is so different. We will always miss them. There will always be a space where they should be. That doesn’t change. There is no time limit.

Grief is painful, messy and exhausting. Emotions change daily, hourly, weekly.

Everything is normal, all emotions are valid.

You feel it so deeply because you love them so deeply.

We need to normalise conversations around grief from an early age. We need to teach our children how to talk about it and process it.

We need to help each other understand grief and support each other when it happens to you. We need to change the narrative

For those in our area

Are you a teacher, school leader or someone who works in a school environment?

If a child told you they were thinking of su***de or wanted to end their life, would you know what to say or how to support them?

Many teachers share that they don't feel confident in knowing how to respond when a child or young person raises concerns about su***de.

Through The Jordan Legacy's work with One Voice One Hope, the national collaborative su***de prevention movement, a special event is being held on June 9th, from 9am-6pm:

The "Youth Su***de Prevention in Schools: Building Confidence, Capability and Safe Practice" Conference.

This free online event is an opportunity for school teachers, leaders and those involved in supporting and educating young people to hear from leading experts and practitioners, and will provide clear, practical guidance to help schools:

👉 Understand what safe and appropriate practice looks like
👉 Build staff confidence in responding to students in distress
👉 Strengthen safeguarding approaches and referral pathways
👉 Learn from schools and organisations already delivering this work well

Following the event, schools will be able to access SIX WEEKS of FULLY FUNDED TRAINING and support from trusted organisations.

This event is about providing schools with:

👉 Clarity in a complex and evolving area
👉 Access to trusted expertise
👉 Practical, supported next steps

Lots of people seem to have lots of advice when you are grieving.

Often after a certain length of time people expect you to feel better, to move on, to act normally.

When you have lost someone close to you, everything changes. You feel differently about the world, about your relationships, about yourself.

Often life feels divided into the time they were in our lives, and the time after.

All of your feelings are valid and important. Grief has to be felt and acknowledged to be processed.

Don’t force yourself to do things that don’t feel right, be kind and compassionate to yourself. Allow yourself time to grieve fully.

Don’t rush back into life as a way to avoid your feelings.

Take care of you 💞
