The Orange Button Community Scheme supports su***de prevention across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin by helping people feel more confident to listen, talk and signpost when someone may be experiencing suicidal thoughts.
The scheme is part of a wider, community-based approach to su***de prevention. It recognises that services cannot prevent su***de on their own and that supportive, compassionate conversations in everyday settings can make a real difference.
