Knowing where to turn can make it easier to ask for help. 💚

On World Su***de Prevention Day, we want to make sure you know where you can turn if you’re struggling with your mental health or need someone to talk to.

For urgent mental health support, you can contact NHS 111 and select the mental health option 2. NHS Talking Therapies can also provide support for common mental health problems, and you can self-refer without speaking to your GP.

Would you know what to do if you were worried about someone? 💚

Talking about su***de can feel difficult, and you might worry about saying the wrong thing. Learning more about su***de and how to have a conversation can help you feel more confident if someone you know is struggling.

The Zero Su***de Alliance offers free online su***de awareness training, which can help you recognise the signs that someone may need support, understand how to start a conversation and learn where to signpost them for further help.

This World Su***de Prevention Day, take some time to learn a skill that could make a difference.

You’ll find the link to the free su***de awareness training in the comments below.

Fancy a career in the skies?🚁👀

We’re sharing the career journey of Critical Care Paramedic Caroline Duncan, who has spent more than two decades caring for patients across the North West.

From joining as a trainee ambulance technician in 2004 to taking to the skies as a HEMS paramedic, Caroline has witnessed huge changes in pre-hospital care along the way.

Did you know we have our own official charity?

North West Ambulance Charity is about more than just fundraising, it's about making a real difference, and that means supporting life-saving care💚

Our charity supports all sorts of projects, including placing more life-saving defibrillators where needed, supporting more people to learn CPR, investing in the wellbeing of North West Ambulance Service staff and volunteers, and helping communities be better prepared to save a life.

If you'd like to support North West Ambulance Charity, head to the link in our bio.

Yesterday, we joined colleagues in the police, fire and rescue service, coastguard and bomb disposal to demonstrate our capabilities in the event of a serious incident.

It gave everyone a chance to understand what each service can do in an emergency and also to foster relationships between those who will work together during an incident.

Not suprisingly the police and search and rescue dogs were a big hit for obvious reasons. 🐶
