If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you need to know that you’re not alone.

Self-harm is a way of expressing and dealing with deep distress and emotional pain.

The fact that someone died by suicide does not change our love for them, their value, the impact they had on our lives, their contributions to our families and communities and our right and need to celebrate and honour their lives and accomplishments.

A suicidal person may not ask for help, but that doesn’t mean that help isn’t wanted.
