Another organisation raising awareness and signposting support is Ripple Suicide Prevention.<\/p>

It was founded by Alice Hendy who lost her only sibling, 21-year-old brother Josh, to suicide in 2020.<\/p>

The organisation aims to get to individuals before they reach harmful content when searching for mental health support online.<\/p>

She said worldwide there are 1.2m internet searches for how to end your own life each month.<\/p>

With the NHS \"under-resourced, struggling\" and with waiting lists for mental health support services \"astronomical\", Ms Hendy said charities like Ripple are \"in demand more than ever\".<\/p>

She said as well as financial pressure, anxiety about world events and people finding things difficult, underpinning it all there is still a stigma surrounding the topic of mental health and suicide.<\/p>

Her advice to anyone struggling would be to talk to those around you about how you\u2019re feeling, and open up a dialogue.<\/p>

\"There is always hope. However bad things are, however bad things might seem, there is always hope and things will get better,\" she added.<\/p>
