A community partnership of voluntary sector organisations have come together to pilot the Orange Button Community scheme across Herefordshire and Worcestershire between April and July 2022
If you are having thoughts of suicide, or are worried about a friend or family member, you can talk to someone wearing an orange button.
The scheme is a way of identifying people that have undertaken suicide prevention training. That they have the confidence to talk to others about suicide. It is a way of showing others in your community who are having thoughts of suicide, or are worried about somebody else, that you are:
- Comfortable to say / hear the word suicide
- Can listen without judgement
- Can inform people where to find help and support
