Look Out For Wolverhampton is supported by Wolverhampton Suicide Prevention Stakeholder Forum which is made up of a wide range of statutory, voluntary and community organisations in the city.

Many more people are affected by suicide than we might realise including:

• Anyone who is feeling overwhelmed by life, feels like they are a burden to others, are in emotional and physical pain, and may be having thoughts about ending their own life
• Anyone who is worried about someone they know (whether a neighbour, a loved one, a mate, a work colleague, or someone they have just met)
• Anyone who has been bereaved by suicide

The simple campaign messages are that:

• We can all Look Out For Wolverhampton by playing our part to keep people safe if we:
  • Look Out For a Loved One
  • Look Out For a Mate
  • Look Out For a Colleague
  • Look Out For Anyone We Know or Care About
• There is always hope - Feelings that life is unbearable can pass
• Help and support is available locally and nationally every day of the year and at all times of the day
• Talking about suicidal distress and emotional pain doesn’t make it more likely, it actually reduces the risk
• Make a Big Difference with a Small Question
• Ask “But how are you really?”, listen, show you care
• Anyone could have thoughts about ending their own life
• Look out for the signs
