Thread | Suicide Awareness Day
at 11:31 10 Sep 2021
Hope you're well today. As we are all football fans and generally look out for each others' wellbeing, I would like to raise a bit of awareness about Suicide on this forum. I'm sure a lot of posters here would have been either directly or indirectly affected by it in some way or another in their lives.
As a reminder, suicide is the leading preventable cause of death for men under the age of 50 (source https://www.england.nhs.uk/blog/tackling-the-root-causes-of-suicide/). In 2019, 6,500 people took their own lives.
Suicide prevention advice from the Mental Health Foundation suggests the following advice:
W - Watch our for signs of distress and changes in behaviour
A - Ask "are you having suicidal thoughts"
I - It will pass - Assure your loved one that, with help, their suicidal feelings will pass in time.
T - Talk to others - encourage your loved one to seek help from a GP or health professional.
I appreciate it's a bit deep but also a timely reminder to check in with each other.
If anyone is struggling, please call Samaritans on 116 123. |

Change is hard. Building a team is hard. Just reflect on what it’s like within the organisations that you work in, or when you are kicking off a new project. A football club and team are no different. |
