'BE THE ONE' CAMPAIGN – SUICIDE PREVENTION
Be the One is Rotherham’s suicide prevention campaign. Created by NHS Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, it is about creating a social movement in Rotherham that:
- raises awareness amongst the general population of how to help individuals in emotional distress and experiencing suicidal thoughts
- raises awareness of the types of mental health support available for those in need
- supports the reduction of suicide rates in Rotherham
Nobody should feel that suicide is the only way out of their current situation. Everyone should have easy access to support and advice when they are feeling depressed, scared and alone.
We must all learn how to look out for one another and do our bit to help those in distress.
Get involved by making your own promise to help reduce suicide rates in Rotherham, and to encourage people to talk, listen and care.

THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS
The Royal College of General Practitioners is working with NHS England and NHS Improvement to accredit GP practices as 'veteran friendly'. This programme enables practice to deliver the best possible care and treatment for patients who have served in the armed forces.
A number of GP practices in England are already accredited through this programme and a full list of accredited veteran friendly practices can be located on the Royal College of General Practitioners website.
