What is the Start a Conversation pledge?
We need your help to raise awareness of mental health and suicide prevention, to help make our communities places where everyone can have positive mental health.
Our pledge tool gives you the opportunity to show your commitment to our mission and have your say on our pledge wall. Making a pledge can help us to stay committed to our goals and make us accountable for taking action. By signing this pledge and writing on our pledge wall you are helping to empower yourself and others to take positive action.
What does signing the pledge involve?
Before signing the pledge you first need to agree to our action statements. These include you pledging to:
- Challenge stigma surrounding mental health and suicide
- Challenge negative language linked to mental health and suicide
- Start a conversation about mental health and suicide
If you agree with these actions you can now sign the pledge.
