One suicide impacts far more than one life.

Research suggests at least 135 people are affected.

Change starts with conversation. Let’s challenge stigma, prioritise mental health, and remember that suicide prevention is everybody’s business.

In the UK, three out of four suicides are men.

Our words matter. Too often men are judged when they speak of struggle.

Let’s shift from judgment to empathy, because every conversation has the power to rewrite someone’s story 💛

Silence isolates.

Stories connect.

Suicide prevention starts with:

✨ Safe spaces to talk
✨ Listening without judgment
✨ Signposting to support

None of us have all the answers, but every conversation counts 💛

This month, I’m speaking, sharing, and holding conversations about suicide with schools, workplaces, and communities.

At its heart, prevention is human connection 💛

Show up. Listen. Care. That’s how we save lives.

After suicide loss comes guilt, shame, silence.

Research shows those bereaved are 65% more likely to attempt #suicide.

In my darkest space, a blackbird appeared - #hope in feathered form 💛🐦‍⬛

Suicide prevention isn’t just for clinicians or policymakers.

For me, it’s lived experience.

Sharing the raw grief of losing Steve helps break silence and stigma.

Every story matters.

Every connection can save a life 💛

Every year, more than 700,000 people die by suicide.

Each one is a story cut short.

Suicide isn’t the end of the story, it’s a signal.

Let’s change the narrative: from silence to support, from stigma to connection.

Research shows that after a loved one takes their own life, those bereaved are 65% more likely to attempt #suicide themselves.

In my darkest time, I needed to feel hope, and it arrived in the shape of a blackbird 💛🐦‍⬛

I lost my husband Steve to suicide.

My prevention work comes from that raw place - sharing grief, breaking silence, dismantling shame and stigma.

You don’t need to be an expert to help.

You just need to listen, care, and connect 💛

Every year 4,500 inquests in England & Wales return a verdict of suicide.

In Jan 2019, it was my husband’s.

In this article I share what it was really like to sit in that courtroom where love and loss collide with cold evidence…

Official words cut deep, planting images I never wanted.

The verdict gave no answers. Just silence, where Steve’s voice should've been.

In my latest Daddy Blackbird piece, I share what it’s really like to sit through an inquest like this.
