You Are Not Alone
Suicide is the leading cause of death in the UK every 90 minutes.
It does not discriminate and touches the lives of everyone – homeless people, doctors, builders, reality stars, and footballers.
It is the leading cause of death for people younger than 35 years old, and more fatal than car accidents or cancer.
Three times as likely are men to end their own lives than women.
It’s a taboo, but it’s not often mentioned. This taboo threatens to continue its deadly rampage until we all take notice now.
That is why Central Recorder launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
We all have a responsibility to save lives by sharing practical advice, increasing awareness, and breaking down barriers when it comes to talking about our mental health.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
