Today is World Su***de Prevention Day, a day to recognise those who may need help but are hesitant to ask for it.
Unfortunately in the course of our duties we often have to attend su***de incidents. We remember all those who have lost their lives in such circumstances. We have also helped to prevent many su***des, mainly by talking and listening. It’s always good to talk.
