💛 Can a conversation save a life?

This World Su***de Prevention Day, we're inviting local community groups, charities, faith organisations, and support services to join us for a special event hosted by Re-Imagine Me CIC

Talking openly about su***de can reduce stigma, encourage understanding, and connect people to the support they need.

📅 Thursday 10 September 2026
⏰ 10:00am
📍 St Barnabas Church Hall, Over Green Drive, Kingshurst, Birmingham B37 6EY

Let's come together to learn, connect, and strengthen our collective response to mental health and su***de prevention in our communities.

Please share with your networks and help spread this important message.

💛 Together, we can help create a community where nobody feels they have to struggle alone.
