NORTH Ayrshire’s Year of Young People Ambassadors have created a blog in response to a popular show raising the issue of teen suicide.
The blog follows the popularity of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, based on the book of the same name.
13 Reasons - Suicide Prevention YOYP Blog will promote positive mental health, while providing helpful links for young people in North Ayrshire about getting the right help and support.
The ambassadors have worked closely with Choose Life in creating the suicide prevention blog.
Young people can access advice, useful contact numbers and tips on how to deal with suicidal thoughts.
Posts to the blog so far include: 13 Ways to Calm Yourself, 13 Places to Get Help, and 13 Ways to help a Friend who is Struggling.
The blog can be found at https://young.scot/na-yoyp/ campaign-articles/13-reasons-suicide-prevention-yoyp-blog/.
