Living Warriors: Keep Talking

Living Warriors: Keep Talking was commissioned for World Suicide Prevention Day - 10th September 2024 - by NHS, Kent County Council and Medway Council’s Suicide Prevention Programme. The campaign is focussing on changing the narrative on suicide and calls for viewers to start conversations on this often scary and taboo subject.

NHS Kent and Medway’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr Kate Langford, said: “As the Living Warriors film highlights, talking about feelings and listening to others is crucial to emotional wellbeing.”

Living Words CPD accredited Listen Out Loud method supports self expression and can work at such a deep level, that not only is the project member transformed through the process, but their relationships are too. Having a book of a person’s words acts to elevate, reinforce and sometimes lighten words so that a person is often heard in a new way by those they are connected to, as well as themselves.

“I never saw myself as someone with things of value to say - being heard and getting responses from others about my words was invaluable to me. ” - Living Warrior, 2022

“I see myself in a new way - you aren't scared by my thoughts and words, now they don’t have so much hold.” - Living Warrior, 2020
