Across the UK, more than 6,000 people die by suicide every year. The effect on families, friends, colleagues and anyone touched by the loss can be a lonely, painful endless grief. Leaving unanswered questions and what seems like a hole in the soul. If we start to talk about suicide and loose the stigma we make it an open conversation which make recovery seem possible.
Let's Get Talking About Suicide is the Third Suicide awareness day to take part in Portsmouth. The event is free and open to everyone. Save the date 6th September 10am-4pm
At the event there is a chance to talk to relevant services and groups. This year we will be incorporating the Wellbeing Revolution with creative workshops, the chance to experience an ice bath, Guest Speakers and exercise workshops to help lift mood and mind.
The chance to pay respects to those who have lost someone will be in the form of creative celebration with music and living memorials.
It will be a day of coming together and giving hope that no one is alone, help is available and no matter how suicide has or is affecting you, you will be welcome to share.
Also check out other Workshops in Portsmouth.
