World Suicide Prevention Day – September 10th

north380web Info, Wellbeing

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. NKM has decided to mark this day by sharing some guidance on how to ask someone if they are having suicidal thoughts.

As a community, we need to become more confident in talking about suicide. Through open conversations and safe spaces, we can help people access the support they need.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or if you are concerned that someone else may be, please do not struggle in silence. Support is available.

World Suicide Prevention Day

World Suicide Prevention Day is a chance for people to come together, raise awareness, and take meaningful steps towards preventing suicide and supporting those who may be struggling to cope.

Stress Awareness Month

north380web Info, Wellbeing

April is Stress Awareness Month

A gentle reminder to slow down, breathe, and take care of your mind just as much as your body. Stress is something we all experience, but it doesn’t have to control us.

Take a moment this month to check in with yourself, set boundaries, and prioritise what truly matters. Even small steps can make a big difference

Time to Talk Day 2026

north380web Info, Wellbeing

What is Time to Talk Day?

Time to Talk Day is the nation’s biggest mental health conversation.
It’s a day for all of us to come together to talk, listen and change lives. 

Why is talking important?

Talking openly and honestly can be the first step towards better mental health for everyone.
It can even save lives. Talking can reduce stigma and
help people feel comfortable enough to seek help when they need it.

Brave the big talk this #TimeToTalkDay.
