Orange window stickers with the message ‘Get Help Now’ are going up around Blackburn with Darwen to show people how to get urgent support when life gets too much.
Get Help Now is a visual identify for the urgent support that’s available to anyone in crisis in Blackburn with Darwen, when they don’t know where to turn.
Window stickers with the Get Help Now branding are appearing in shops, cafes and community venues across the borough.
The eye-catching Get Help Now stickers have a QR code that takes people to the Be Well BwD website with details of all the support available to them locally and nationally, with a particular focus on the support that’s available outside of office hours.
Councillor Damian Talbot, who is the Council’s Executive Member for Housing and Public Health, commented:
We’re entering a time of year that can be very difficult for some people.
These bright orange stickers are going up to remind people that no one needs to struggle in silence as there is always help available in Blackburn with Darwen to those who need it.
Whether someone is experiencing a mental health crisis, having issues with substance use, gambling that’s severely affecting their health, or problems with addiction, help is there. By scanning the Get Help Now QR code, they can find the right support for them.
Get Help Now was developed by our Public Health team as part of their work to prevent death by suicide. By supporting people to have conversations around suicidal thoughts and helping remove the stigma, we can potentially save lives.
We can all have times where we are facing a range of life’s challenges. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming but it’s important to remember there is always help available.
