We can all struggle. Any place. Any time. Our #SmallTalkSavesLives campaign is about turning everyday conversations into moments that matter. If someone doesn’t look OK, start a conversation. You could save a life.

What do I do if someone doesn’t look OK but I don’t feel safe approaching them? Your safety matters. If you don't feel comfortable, that's OK. Consider asking a passer-by for support. At train stations, staff members and police officers are there to help too.

Starting a conversation could help save someone’s life. 👂 Really listen to what they're saying. 💬 Repeat it back to show you hear them. 💚 Encourage them to find a quiet spot to sit. 📞 Ask if there’s someone you can call for them — family, a friend, or Samaritans.

Your words can be a life-saving kit. If you see someone who doesn’t look OK, a little small talk could save their life. Find out more here: samaritans.org/support-us/cam…

Our research shows that 67% of us would appreciate someone offering words of support if we're struggling to cope. A simple conversation could save a life, but starting one isn’t always easy. Do you have a go-to small talk starter? Share in the replies. 👇 #SmallTalkSavesLives

Well done to everyone for running the Sheffield Half Marathon and our very own Dave. Raising funds for our Samaritans branch means we can keep training more listening volunteers. justgiving.com/page/david-thr…

Let’s talk about stress…It happens to all of us – it’s our body’s natural response to pressure. There’s lots of different situations or life events that can cause it. You’re not alone in feeling like this. These feelings won’t last forever. #StressAwarenessMonth
