Take time to talk

Whatever you are going through, there is somebody who will face it with you.

All it takes is one call to ask for help. 

We've prepared a list of people who are there to listen, if you want to talk, or know someone who might need support. 

Get talking, and help prevent suicide

We're working with the British Transport Police, Network Rail and other partners – together - do all we can to prevent rail suicides and support those affected by them.  

We support the rail industry's ‘small talk saves lives’ bystander campaign developed in partnership with Samaritans and British Transport Police. This campaign focuses on ways to encourage the public to support those who may be in emotional crisis around them on the rail network, by striking up small talk and potentially saving a life. 

How you can help

Never put yourself at risk but this small act can make such an enormous difference. Simply talking to someone and interrupting their thoughts may be all it takes to encourage them to reach out for support.

Spread the word so that we can create a world where fewer people die by suicide and talking about our feelings and our mental health is the norm.  

You could help save a life one day.
