Sunderland Samaritans drop-in sessions at Health Hub
People in Sunderland will soon have another safe place to talk, as Sunderland Samaritans begin hosting regular drop-in sessions at the new Health Hub based in the Beacon of Light.
Beacon of Light supports mental wellbeing on Suicide Prevention Week
The Beacon will light up green on World Suicide Prevention Day on Tuesday 10 September as part of Suicide Prevention Week.
Suicide Prevention Week runs every year throughout the week corresponding to Suicide Prevention Day, building on the campaign to inform and engage about suicide prevention and the warning signs of suicide.
1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health issue each year; that's around 7,500 in a full capacity Stadium of Light!
The Beacon of Light is home to the Foundation of Light, who run various initiatives to support mental wellbeing.
These include the Game of II Halves suicide prevention programme aimed at men 16+, the Believe peer-to-peer women’s support group, and Wear Together sessions which supports those aged over 55 to keep social and active.
We are also proud to host Andy’s Man Club Sunderland every Monday from 7pm, Space North East on Wednesdays from 7pm, and the SAFC Branch Liaison Council Matchday Mental Health Hub with Washington Mind at our Fan Zones.
