Ben on Coping with Suicidal Thoughts

Content warning for references to suicidal thoughts.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Now we realise that not everyone is into the “awareness day” thing and we get it – it can feel tokenistic, triggering or as if these things don’t matter for the rest of the year. However, we’ve been wanting to say something about this stuff for a while so thought today is as good a day as any (every day is mental health day for us anyhow)

Ben, director of HMT and head of extrovertion, has done us this video of his experience of suicidal thoughts and how he copes with them. Obviously this is his opinion and experience and not professional advice (if you are struggling see this link for how to get help)

Big thanks to Ben as it takes a lot to share this stuff.
