Start a Conversation is the mental health and suicide prevention campaign for Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland. The campaign, including website, aims to use the power of communities to help increase the number of open and honest conversations on the topics.
By sharing reliable information and promoting talking more and openly about mental health and suicide, we hope people will become more aware, face less stigma and discrimination, and be supported to help themselves or seek help from around them, ultimately saving lives.
Our website provides:
- Reliable information
- Advice on challenging stigma
- Signposting to self and local community help
- Resources to support and raise awareness
- Training to upskill
- Ways to get involved
The website acts as a hub of information and can spring board you off to other key websites and organisations across Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland including Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, First Contact Plus, JOY, Live Well etc.
