ZSA's Big Brew

How to Save a Life

Thanks for joining the Big Brew conversation. We all know someone who might be having suicidal thoughts problems and need help.

You could make the difference to what they do next.

The Big Brew - See The Need, Take the Training, Have the Conversation

‘My dear son was desperately ill by the time he sought professional help. We need a system that is able to detect difficulty much earlier… Steve Mallen, one of the founders of the Zero Suicide Alliance of 200 organisations after his 18 year old son Edward took his life.

Coping can start with a cuppa, 20 minutes is all it takes for our training.

The Big Brew #Talk2Me campaign uses the power of the Great British cuppa to help you take the training and have the conversation.

What do I need to do?

SEE THE NEED – is someone you know suffering in silence?

TAKE THE TRAINING – you can do it in the time it takes to drink a cuppa.

HAVE THE CONVERSATION – plan a Big Brew event, get together and #Talk2Me.
