It's Safe to Talk About Suicide

It's Safe to Talk About Suicide

The information leaflet "It's Safe to Talk About Suicide" was developed by Exeter University for use by concerned family members and friends.

The leaflet contains infomation about warning signs, what to say to someone who is suicidal and what they might be thinking. It also had suggestions and sources of support.

NB. The additional services listed below have only come on line since lockdown and as such aren’t included in the ‘safe to talk’ leaflets.
