#YouCanTalk is a joint national suicide prevention campaign aimed at giving people the confidence to respond to friends and family when they need help and guide them to the right support services.
Wot Na Wot Kine is an awareness campaign that encourages young people to talk to each other and to get professional help if required, when they have problems that affect their social and emotional wellbeing.
We want to decrease the stigma associated with talking about these problems and positively role model ways to stay strong and well.
