Samaritans have created a powerful video about the power of ‘small talk’. It can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts – ‘for every one life lost on the railways, six are saved by those around them’. *
*In 2016/17, there were 6.7 potentially life-saving interventions made for every suicide/suspected suicide on the railway. Figures calculated using data from Rail Safety and Standards Board and British Transport Police (BTP) – (taken from the Samaritans website).
