The pub, the bar: they're places where mates meet, beers are drunk and friendships are forged.
Wherever you are in the one world, there's one word synonymous with them: connection.
It's a vibe, it's a place of fun, dance, revelry and conversations.
But they're also places that can take people already struggling emotionally further to the edge.
The stats say that, around the world, up to 69% of people who die by suicide have alcohol in their system. Gambling addiction, with poker and slot machines in pubs and bars, contributing to the problem, continues to hurt people in the pocket if it reaches addiction.
The GLASS EMPTY Suicide Prevention Method and Signal can help lower those statistics.
When someone with suicide ideation shows the signs they are suffering, and they are noticed by those around them, rather than look at them with fear and judgment (stigma), it's important to show compassion. The Pub and Bar Whisperer, which can be the publican or anyone working behind in the venue who has knowledge of how to provide a suicide intervention, can have a quiet conversation with someone doing it tough, to prevent a silent death, simply by speaking up when they see the signs of suicide ideation.
If you're struggling with suicide ideation and the venue you're in has a GLASS EMPTY signal on it, find out more about GLASS EMPTY Suicide Prevention Signal here.

Or if there's someone in your venue who is available and familiar with The GLASS EMPTY Suicide Prevention Method, then give them the opportunity to save a life. Reminding them the TRICKY Conversation Around Suicide values: Trust, Respect, Integrity, Confidentiality, Kindness and Your Good Self.
