Online Zoom Session
2pm - 3pm
Sunday 10th October is World Mental Health Day.
To mark the date the Samaritans in conjunction with the WELL Programme are providing a talk on their new campaign ‘Small Talk Saves Lives’.
Ken, a Samaritans volunteer, has agreed to give a ‘virtual’ talk to help raise awareness of the campaign.
After an incredibly tough year and as the nation begins to readjust to life without pandemic restrictions, the campaign reminds the public they already have the skills to start a conversation with someone who needs help, giving them the confidence to act. By trusting our instincts, if something doesn’t feel right, a little small talk and a simple question, such as “Hello, what’s the time?” can be all it takes to interrupt someone’s negative thoughts and help set them on the journey to recovery.
