Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

So today, the South West Su***de Prevention team are proud to formally launch the South West Prevention Hub page, where our community can find su***de prevention, wellbeing and community connection across our region throughout the year.

The Hub will share trusted information relevant to people and organisations across the South West, including local training and professional development opportunities, community events and initiatives, practical prevention resources, su***de bereavement information, health promotion resources, services and supports.

We hope the page will make good information should be easy to find, so we can better work together, strengthen local connections between people and services, build community capacity, and help more of us understand the role we can play in prevention.

If you live or work in the South West, we’d love you to follow the South West Prevention Hub and share the page with others who might find it useful.

ENCOURAGEMENT

One of the most beautiful gifts in the world is the gift of encouragement. When someone encourages you, that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on your own. There are times of great uncertainty in every life. Left alone at such a time, you feel dishevelment and confusion like gravity. When a friend comes with words of encouragement, a light and lightness visit you and you begin to find the stairs and the door out of the dark. The sense of encouragement you feel from the friend is not simply her words or gestures; it is rather her whole presence enfolding you and helping you find the concealed door. The encouraging presence manages to understand you and put herself in your shoes. There is no judgment but words of relief and release.
