Huge thank you to The Lowry for offerring our charity and its members complimentary ticket to watch Far Gone on Friday 10 October World Mental Health Day 💛

The play was excellent, the production wonderful and the performance brilliant.

We wish The writer / actor John Rwothomach good luck in pursuing his dreams including working with the United Nations in schools and maybe making a film.

We know he’d also like to write about the extraordinary people who make a new life after being child soldiers.

An amazing experience on World Mental Health Day!

Thank you all who joined us that evening.

💡 Language Matters

At JaksWorld, we know from lived experience how the way we talk about su***de can cause additional pain to those who have lost a loved one that way.

We want to help educate people on how not to talk about su***de so that we don’t end up hurting those already grieving.

Words like “committed su***de”, or calling it a “selfish act”, can be deeply stigmatising. It’s also important not to assume that su***de always relates to mental health — not everyone who takes their own life has a mental health diagnosis.

The reasons why people take their own lives are complex and often include several different factors.

If you’d like to learn more:
🌿 You can take part in our professional training here: https://jaksworld.org/suicidal-frist-aid-lite-training/

🌿 If you’re unsure how to talk about su***de or want to learn how to help safely, please contact us at JaksWorld or come along to one of our drop-in sessions.
Thursday @96 Degress Eccles and Friday
Calendar with activities is pinned on our page 😉

🌿 You can also take a free 20-minute training to help us all change the narrative on su***de: https://www.zerosu***dealliance.com/su***de-awareness-training

Together, we can learn to speak with compassion, reduce stigma, and help protect those who are grieving. 💛

💛 How to Support Families After Su***de

When someone loses a loved one to su***de, daily life can feel overwhelming. There are many ways you can offer practical support and show you care:

🌿 Practical ways to help:

🛒Grocery shopping or meal prep

🎃Babysitting or helping with children so they can play and learn

🐾Dog walking or pet care

🚿House cleaning or tidying

🗑Taking bins out or helping with chores

🚗Giving lifts to appointments or activities

📲Calling support organisations on their behalf

🖨Helping complete forms or pay bills online.

💡 You can also encourage them to reach out to trained organisations for bereavement support, or contact JaksWorld if you need guidance on how to help safely and compassionately.

Even small acts of kindness can make a huge difference and help them feel less alone. 💛
