17.01.2022 Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. In 2014, our CEO and founder, Jake Edwards, attempted to take his own life. From his recovery, Outside the Locker Room was born. Today, we’re deeply committed to providing the education and support people need to look after each other. Please help us share the following messages:... #1. It’s okay to ask someone if they’re having thoughts of suicide it will not put the idea in their head. While it’s a difficult question to ask, it will show that you care and want to support them no matter what. #2. Learn: The warning signs of suicide What can put people at risk of suicide What can protect people from suicide Thanks to our friends at Beyond Blue for these fantastic resources. #3. Suicide affects us all. While men take their own lives more often than women, on #womenshealthweek we want to highlight that women plan and attempt suicide more often than men. #4. Support is always available. Reach out to Lifeline, Suicide Call Back Service or Beyond Blue. In an emergency always call 000. #wspd #wspd2020 #stigmastopshere #morethanjustagame #womenshealthweek
