Suicide: 'You're not alone, we all experience dark thoughts' | |
(32 minutes later) | |
A man who set up a mental health support charity after his daughter took her own life has urged people to talk to others if they are struggling. | |
We Mind & Kelly Matters was founded by friends and family of Kelly Hewitt, a prison officer who died in December 2018. | |
The charity, based in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, has launched a beer mat and poster campaign at pubs across the county, with the aim of starting conversations and spreading suicide awareness over Christmas. | |
John Hewitt said: "If you're struggling and you can talk to somebody, it's like a weight's been lifted off your shoulders. You're not on your own, we all experience dark thoughts." | |
If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, BBC Action Line has details of support available. | |
