The materials are designed to help both yourself and others who are struggling with mental health.
Distribution underway
Distribution is now taking place across north Cumbria and resource tins will be held at frequently accessed community locations, such as pharmacies, colleges, police stations and community centres. Host organisations will also be offered training in suicide intervention skills, and will be responsible for ensuring resources are available to those who need them.

Newcastle United Women captain Brooke Cochrane has been named as a Be A Game Changer ambassador.
Her new role within the Newcastle United Foundation sees her become the first female ambassador for the charity’s campaign, highlighting Be A Game Changer’s provision to support all genders within the North East’s football community.
This International Women’s Day, she is sharing her story to empower other women and girls to check in with each other or access advice on mental and physical wellness provided by the Foundation through digital resources and Health and Wellbeing sessions.
Cochrane had found herself struggling to cope after picking up a potentially career-ending injury last year. Made bedbound at the start of the UK’s first lockdown, the 28-year-old could not escape her own thoughts of what her life might be like without the sport she loves.
