Suicides are not inevitable but in most cases are preventable. 

Suicide and non-fatal self-harm account for more than 4000 deaths and 200,000 hospital presentations every year in the UK. 

I feel like NOW is the time to change this! Over the past few weeks/months, I know you will have all read or heard about the many suicide attempts on Victoria Bridge, Stockton-On-Tees. I am creating this petition for higher safer barriers to be added to the sides of the bridge as a prevention plan to suicidal attempts. 

There continues to be a strain on Mental Health services in the UK due to the pandemic, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do our bit to try and help prevent it happening. 

I would gratefully appreciate it if you could share this with everyone on your Facebook, the sooner something is done, the sooner lives can be saved. 

And if you’re out there thinking of taking your life, place your hand on your chest and feel your heart beating, you deserve to live, you are not alone, you are loved and we are so proud of you ❤️
