WHY WE NEED TO DO THIS!
Over the course of a lifetime, 1 in 5 people have suicidal thoughts, 1 in 14 people will self-harm, and 1 in 15 people will attempt suicide.
Suicide is the biggest killer of young males in the UK and the rise in death by suicide of females under 24 yrs is the highest since records began.
1 in 6 working-age adults have symptoms associated with mental ill health. Around 51% of long term sick leave is due to stress, depression or anxiety.
It is too often those closest to us who suffer in silence – primarily due to stigma around talking and opening up about our mental health.
We could all do with being a little more active once in a while – so get your running shoes on; your trunks out or dust down that old bike from the shed!.
