Isle of Man Samaritans are encouraging people to talk to each other and share the things in life that give them hope to mark World Suicide Prevention Day on Friday.
After a hugely challenging 18 months, volunteers are aiming to help the local community remain positive by asking residents what they do to help maintain their wellbeing, in line with this year’s theme Creating Hope Through Action.
With the long-term effects of the pandemic likely to be felt for several years, sharing ways of remaining hopeful could support anyone struggling to cope and be an important reminder that you do not have to do it alone, help and support is available.
Spending time in nature, exercising, baking, listening to music and drawing are just a handful of examples that can help boost people’s mood, among plenty of other activities.
To help inspire people, Samaritans has created several new resources, including suggested activities, useful tips, and a mood-boosting playlist, which will be available from 10th September.
Anyone can contact Samaritans, free, 24/7, 365 days a year, on 116 123, email jo@samaritans.org or visit www.samaritans.org.
