💙 Changing the narrative on su***de starts with a conversation.
September is Su***de Prevention Month — a time to move from silence to openness, from stigma to support, and from simply noticing to reaching out.
On 11 September, the NamWater Wellness Team led a solidarity walk at Head Office, bringing staff together before the workday began. It was a simple act, but it carried a powerful message: the silence around mental health does not belong here.
A registered psychologist from Geluk Psychology also joined us and engaged staff on the importance of reaching out — both when we are struggling and when we notice that someone else may be.
Changing the narrative is more than a campaign. It is reflected in how we speak to one another every day. It can begin with a simple question: “How are you, really?” — and being willing to listen to the answer.
Thank you to everyone who laced up, showed up and stood together in solidarity. 💙🚶🏽♀️🚶🏽♂️
