Why we've pledged our support to STOP Suicide...

“I signed the STOP Suicide Pledge because my passion has always surrounded creating a voice to those who are in need and to aid those with topics society struggle to talk about. Following my own battle I realised more needed to be done to support those feeling suicidal and if we educated each other on how to approach the term “suicide” openly and with respect we could genuinely save a life, I made it my goal in life to try and make a difference to those at their lowest and use this campaign to create my own avenue of togetherness and empowerment. It is not the end, things will get better together.”

“Nobody should ever feel like suicide is the only option. I signed the pledge because I’m so passionate about tackling the stigma surrounding suicide. I believe education and honest conversations will allow us to become kinder and lead with compassion”
