SUMMARY:Suicide Prevention Awareness - WSPD 2025
DESCRIPTION:It is a good thing to talk about suicide\, yet it is challenging\, and we often feel we don’t have the words or confidence to do so. \nThis workshop introduces the topic and covers important discussion points such as how to use language around suicide\, what the impact of suicide is and what are next steps to develop our learning and take action to support others. \nOverview: An interactive workshop involving polls\, a quiz\, chat engagement/ discussion and a short video. \nYour Facilitator: \nThis session will be run by It’s a Playground Founder\, Laura Rigden (Expert MHFA and SFA Instructor) \nWhat’s Covered: \n• Exploring the language & stigma associated with suicide \n• What is the impact of suicide? \n• Why is awareness about prevention important and what are the three key areas of suicide intervention? \n• What are some warning signs to look out for & a reminder of some support basics \nWho should attend? \nAnyone interested in learning more about the impact and importance of prevention of suicide. We recommend having a basic understanding of mental health awareness ahead of this session\, but this is not a prerequisite. \nIt’ll also be an opportunity to connect with others and share tips and tools with each other and you’ll receive a digital editable handout and additional tools to share with your community. \nThe session is completely free for anyone living or working in the Borough of Lambeth\, London and for any MHFAiders\, SFAiders or Wellbeing Champions that have accessed their certifications through It’s a Playground. \nFor everyone else\, there are affordable tickets available (£15pp or £125 for 10 places) and all proceeds will go back into creating more specialist content for these open workshops for the year. \nIf you’d like to know more about this session OR our wider programme\, please don’t hesitate to contact us on info@itsaplayground.org. \nPlease contact us directly if you’d like to make a group booking or would like to organise a private workshop for your organisation or community.

SUMMARY:Black & White for ‘For Men To Talk’
DESCRIPTION:On World Suicide Prevention Day – 10 September 2025\, we’re inviting schools\, workplaces\, sports clubs\, and communities to take part in a powerful movement: Black & White for ‘For Men To Talk’. It’s about making it OK for men to talk.\n\n‘For Men To Talk’ is a Community Interest Company (CIC) founded to provide safe\, supportive spaces for men suffering with anxiety\, depression\, and grief. Through in-person meetings\, virtual groups\, walking sessions\, and even fishing\, men are given the chance to connect with others who understand — and start breaking the silence around mental health.\n\nBlack and White represent the extremes that many men silently shift between — from isolation to connection\, from despair to hope. Black and white symbolises that mental health isn’t always visible\, and that many suffer behind smiles\, jokes\, and masks.\n\nWhether you’re at school\, work\, or home\, dress in black and white as a symbol of solidarity. Asking for a suggested donation of £1

SUMMARY:World Suïcide Preventie Week (WSPW) - The Netherlands
DESCRIPTION:From 8 to 14 September\, the Netherlands marks World Suicide Prevention Week (WSPW) — a week devoted to raising extra awareness about suicide prevention. Sadly\, this remains urgently needed: every 45 seconds\, someone\, somewhere in the world\, dies by suicide. In the Netherlands\, suicide claims the lives of more than 1\,850 people every year\, which equals five lives every day. These numbers will only go down if we do this together.   \nFinding the words.\nTalking about suicide isn’t easy\, and searching for the right words can be difficult — but it can make a life-changing difference to someone struggling with suicidal thoughts. How do you start that conversation? What words do you use? It may take courage and some searching. That’s why this week we call on everyone: find the words. Because with words\, we can help each other. Will you join us?  \nThroughout the week\, a variety of activities and campaigns will take place across the country\, including:  \n\nWearing the suicide prevention ribbon \n\n\n44 “Walk into the Light” walks throughout the Netherlands \n\n\nHappy Little Moments activation campaign \n\n\nSamen Sterk conferences (11 September) \n\n\nDaily webinars \n\n\nSuicide prevention trainings \n\n\nSchool tour \n\n\nMan in Mind Meet-up \n\n\nFundraising activities for the 113 Fund \n\n\nAwareness campaigns \n\n\nHundreds of initiatives in the Netherlands \n\n

SUMMARY:Annual Candlelit walk with poetry for World Suicide Prevention Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us on our annual walk from Sabrina Bridge in Worcester to the main bridge\, as usual on the nearest Saturday to World Suicide Prevention Day\, with stops for poetry along the way\, we will end with a name call to show there are names behind the vast numbers. \nThis year as we normally facilitate walks on Wednesday evenings\, and Wednesday 10th Sept is world suicide prevention day\, we will run two events\, it made sense to combine our regular walk with this event. \nSo\, join us on Saturday 6th and Wednesday 10th September\, for a short walk between two bridges\, with poetry along the way\, and remember loved ones names at the end.  \n\nLanterns and lights will be provided\, however to save on costs\, if you have one from previous years please bring one along. \n\nWe will meet at Sabrina Bridge\, Worcester\, at 7pm after a talk and a poem we will set off for a walk\, with stops along the way to read poetry and read out names at the end.\n\n\nIf anyone wants to write any poetry or suggest something meaningful\, please let us know. If you are willing to read on the night it would be a pleasure to hear you. \nPlease email us your poems to info@behindthesmile.care
