TJane 💚💜💙SMHN Please sign The Jordan Legacy petition for the actions we need government & parliament to take get the UK suicide numbers down, towards zero. Suicide can affect anyone. Everyone can help. Thank you 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6409… #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #PassItOn

Sam Southern lost her husband Glen to suicide. She worked in the #NHS for 17yrs & tells us there wasn't much #SuicideAwareness in the NHS! Many NHS staff & doctors have little or no #SuicidePrevention training. This must change: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6409… linkedin.com/posts/paulvitt…

Hard to find the words. You were a lovely, kind strong soul! #momoreland you died years ago mentally. Me and Glen had the pleasure of you living in our home, before you hit home life. I held your hand & told you to go to Roy, see Les & give Glen a clip. You took your last breath!

Heartbreaking! Takes me back, I can deeply relate to the last part. I remember being in the same situation with my 5-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son. We took daily walks with our dog, but sadly to his grave on the #fyldecoast #blackpool #SuicidePrevention #ZeroSuicide

I strongly believe this 👇🏻, but also happen to know it to be true, based on the (far too) many bereaved parents I've supported who are vital in the creation of #SuicidePrevention strategies that will save lives. Find them. Listen to their voices. They know.💜 Universities UK

After losing Glen, I vowed to advocate for change. Today, I took a big step by entering the House of Commons with experts. Every change starts with a single seed. Let's see where this path leads, happy to be involved from the start and see how it progresses!🌱 #suicdeprevention
