A charity supporting people with thoughts of suicide and self-harm say mental health problems are ‘at an all time high’
The Cumbria suicide prevention charity Every Life Matters Cumbria, in collaboration with North East and North Cumbria Suicide Prevention Network, have started distributing Suicide Prevention Resource Tins across north Cumbria.
The materials are designed to help both yourself and others who are struggling with mental health.
Distribution underway
Distribution is now taking place across north Cumbria and resource tins will be held at frequently accessed community locations, such as pharmacies, colleges, police stations and community centres. Host organisations will also be offered training in suicide intervention skills, and will be responsible for ensuring resources are available to those who need them.
Mental wellbeing guide launched by Every Life Matters
23/02/2021
Cumbrian suicide prevention charity Every Life Matters Cumbria has launched a new guide to looking after mental health and wellbeing during COVID-19.
It has also released three animations as part of its awareness campaign, which is being run in collaboration with North East and North Cumbria Suicide Prevention Network, and CNTW NHS Foundation Trust.
Wellbeing and mental health during COVID-19: A guide to looking after yourself and others was originally
published last spring as the nation went into lockdown.
It has now been revised to reflect our growing understanding of how people can protect their wellbeing during the pandemic.
