Our Fortnightly Drop-ins are free to attend and happen every second Thursday from 7pm – 9pm.
This week at Jamie’s Sanctuary, our drop-in will focus on Suicide Awareness Day – creating a safe, supportive space where we can have honest conversations about suicide, mental health, hope and recovery.
The evening will be facilitated by Debbieanne Marriott, founder of Jamie’s Sanctuary, using our brand-new Suicide Awareness Workbook, designed to encourage reflection, challenge common myths, recognise warning signs, and explore practical ways to support both ourselves and others.
Together we’ll work through a range of interactive activities, group discussions and thought-provoking exercises, helping our young people build confidence to talk openly about suicide and understand that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Alongside the discussions, we’ll also be enjoying some creative arts and crafts activities, giving everyone the opportunity to express themselves in a relaxed, informal way. Creativity can often say what words cannot, and we want everyone to leave feeling heard, valued and connected.
As always, our confidential one-to-one support room will be available throughout the evening for anyone who would prefer to speak privately with a member of the Jamie’s Sanctuary team.
Whether you’re coming to learn, listen, share your experiences or simply be around people who understand, you’ll be welcomed into a friendly, non-judgemental environment where every voice matters.
We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of learning, connection and hope.
