Animations to use with people who may be struggling to cope

The North East and North Cumbria Suicide Prevention Network, in collaboration with suicide prevention charity Every Life Matters Cumbria, have launched three new short animations as part of our “look after yourself, look out for others, and get help early” awareness campaign.

The aim is to use the animations to reach as many people as possible, especially people who may be struggling to cope and to help prevent anyone feeling they need to struggle alone.
