World Su***de Prevention Day is tomorrow.

If you've been on one of our first aid courses, you know we talk about why we end up doing first aid, and su***de is one of the difficult topics we often cover.

Samaritans have produced some accessible, simple things that we can all consider in our families, communities, work and with friends.

Here's a short video that gives an insight into how people may feel, and the small things we can all do that make a big difference.

More support and information is on the Samaritans Scotland page here.

If you're struggling, Samaritans are free to call any time, day or night: 116 123.

Every year, on 10 September, organisations around the world get together to raise awareness about su***de prevention.

12 Laerdale training defibrillators are being updated and prepped for the next course.

Everybody has their own training defibrillator, so no one has to wait, meaning you get more practise time.

Everyone also gets their own CPR mannequin, no waiting and much more hygienic.
