Have you ever seen someone at a train station who looks upset, but not been sure what to do?
The lovely people at Samaritans have produced a #SmallTalkSavesLives guide and were handing it out at Bristol Temple Meads last week ☺️

Small talk creates connection. Connection creates hope.
Small talk can save lives.
A comment about the weather. A gentle check-in. A "How have you really been?"
It might feel like nothing to you, but to someone struggling, it could be a light in the darkness.

Your words are a life-saving kit. If you see someone who doesn’t look OK, a little small talk could save their life. Anyone can do it.

Typical age old issue to use women to cater to men. I felt sick even seeing the pic of woman giving guy a FREE shave in the name of suicide prevention. Men try to find anything to be catered to.
Also typical, a female psychologist came up w/ #SmallTalkSavesLives concept. I wrote her w/above blog

Small talk can take lives @samaritans.bsky.social!
The "Brenda Line" and your treatment of female volunteers is a disgrace!

And speaking of male victims who blame women for not getting laid, @kaitlinkallee.bsky.social , guess what the UK suicide prevention "charity" #Samaritans are doing. Yep, as usual, using women to cater to men:

A little small talk like…
“Hi, where can I get a coffee?”
can be all it takes to start someone on a journey to recovery.

We can all struggle.
Any time or place.
Our #SmallTalkSavesLives campaign is about turning everyday conversations into moments that matter. If someone doesn’t look OK, start a conversation.

The holiday season can be a time of joy, but for many, it can also be challenging and lonely. If you're struggling, remember: you don’t have to face it alone.

Well said @samaritans. Every #recovery starts with just one step and #smalltalksaveslives. My example was talking to two ladies about how many digits are in a mobile number.
I pledge to talk to someone if they seem vulnerable. Find out how you can help with @samaritans here: https://ctt.ec/dF7q5+ #smalltalksaveslives
