What if a conversation about suicide could save a life?
Suicide is a topic that makes many of us nervous; it can feel like the hardest thing in the world to ask someone about.
But here’s the thing lots of people don’t realise. Talking about suicide is the best way to prevent it from happening.
Our new campaign features four extraordinary people, who we'd love you to meet.
This is the start of Scotland's biggest ever conversation about suicide.

Finding Hope: Clare
Clare lost her mum Prue, nephew Gerry, and brother-in-law Sandy to suicide.
With Gerry she often talked to him about how he was feeling, but never thought to ask the question, are you thinking about suicide?
When her son Andrew started to struggle with his mental health, that changed. That's because Clare now knows a conversation about suicide is the best way to prevent it from happening.

Suicide Prevention is the community of people and organisations working to deliver Creating Hope Together.
Creating Hope Together is the Scottish Government and COSLA's joint long-term suicide prevention strategy.
