We need to talk about suicide to help remove the stigma. Every day, our specialist team support veterans, and their families to stand strong once again. But for many, the journey before they take the first step towards accessing that support can take weeks, months or even years.
We believe having a conversation can be lifesaving. When someone opens up, it’s important that they feel safe and listened to.
Join us (Help for Heroes) on Suicide Awareness Day for our Let's Talk about Suicide webinar.
This event is organised by Help for Heroes, the UK's leading Armed Forces and veterans charity. We support members of the Armed Forces community with their physical and mental health and a range of welfare issues.
