I want to do something to help the fight against suicide. Some sort of charity or community event. Working to raise awareness and make people talk about it more because I know this saves lives. Talking about it saved my life. But I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what people would want or find engaging or useful? I just want to do something and make a difference

Are there any local FB groups for mental health you could post in and ask?
That sounds amazing though, and I hope you get some answers and are able to follow your dream for this.

But it is worth bearing in mind that suicide is complex. There is often a few factors at play, sometimes not even mental illness related. It is all well and good saying to talk, but things like debt, bereavement, major life changes etc can lead someone down that dark path too. And there is a lot of help for things like that.. so maybe highlight the support for that too.
