Suicide Prevention Week 10th – 17th September 2023

Dear Parent/Carer

This week is Suicide Prevention Week, with Sunday marking the worldwide campaign to ‘create hope through action’. We are aware there has been a lot of coverage on social media and we feel it is important to highlight supports available to anyone who needs it.

This week in PSHE we will discuss resources available and offer advice to help our young people speak to someone if they, or someone they know, are struggling with their mental health.

SAMH have a variety of resources to help start discussions if you are concerned about someone’s mental health, including phone numbers and websites of organisations you can reach out to.

Please remember - we are always here to listen and signpost the best support available to you and your child if you are worried about their wellbeing. Contact your child’s Head of House if you need further advice.

Kind Regards

Calderglen High School
