About Samaritans Wellbeing Roadshow - Stirling
On Saturday 4th September, Samaritans is running a roadshow event to raise awareness of local support services available to the community and to remind the public whatever they’re facing, Samaritans volunteers are there to listen 24/7.
The wellbeing event will also mark World Suicide Prevention Day on Friday 10th September, with volunteers aiming to share things in life that give them hope and encouraging residents to consider what they do to help maintain their wellbeing, in line with this year’s awareness day theme, Creating Hope Through Action.
With the long-term effects of the pandemic likely to be felt for several years, sharing ways of remaining hopeful could support anyone struggling to cope and be an important reminder that suicidal thoughts are not permanent. Spending time in nature, exercising, baking, listening to music, and drawing are just a handful of examples that can help boost people’s mood, among plenty of other actions.
To help, volunteers from Falkirk Samaritans will be outside the Thistle Shopping Centre in Stirling between 10am and 4pm to talk to locals about their services and provide emotional support to anyone who may need it.
The volunteers will be joined by representatives from Creative Stirling’s The Cube project, Street Pastors, Forth Valley Recovery and Change, Grow Live, with support from Police Scotland, Network Rail and British Transport Police.
Throughout World Suicide Prevention Day, Samaritans will be sharing useful content on its Instagram, Twitter and Facebook pages, asking people what they do when they’re not feeling hopeful, providing tips for creating hope and sharing case studies exploring the meaning of hope.
