Today is World Mental Health Day 💜

This years theme is 'access to services - mental health in catastrophes and emergencies'.

In our digital world, we can be overwhelmed by current events. It can feel like there's a crisis happening everyday and we can get stuck doomscolling the news, which takes a toll on our mental health.

Did you know? - Calderdale Recovery Steps have also trained bar staff and other staff from different services in Halifax how to use naloxone!

Naloxone is a medication that saves lives - It temporarily stops someone from having an opioid overdose and helps keep someone alive so they can get to the hospital!

If you or your staff would like to be trained why not get in touch?

Contact us on 01422 415550, message us or pop in!

A door supervisor has said a life-saving drug should be carried as standard by security staff, after he helped a man during an overdose.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 🕯

Trigger warning - This post discusses su***de.

Su***de is a tough topic but it is important that we have these direct, open and honest conversations. Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by su***de and 1 in 4 of us has had suicidal thoughts.

If you or someone else is struggling with these thoughts or a mental health crisis please call 999 or visit https://www.waythrough.org.uk/need-urgent-help/.
