Families share the last photo of loved ones before they took their own lives

We team up with CALM for new campaign called Last Photo to challenge perceptions about suicidal feelingsAll of the people included in these images died by suicide within days of these photos being taken.

With so many people not opening up about how they feel, the charity's "Last Photo" exhibition shines a light on the true face of suicide and hopes to open up conversations about dark thoughts and feelings. The reality is that suicidal behaviour takes many forms, with many who are struggling putting on a mask to disguise their inner turmoil.

over half don’t feel confident in knowing how to help someone if they shared they were experiencing suicidal thoughts.The research shows that the most common approach for those trying to help is to leave the door open for the person to talk, with two-thirds of people telling them to 'get in touch whenever they need'.

Simon Gunning, CEO of CALM, said: “People tend to think they already know what suicidal looks like - reclusiveness, crying, silence etc - and if they don't see these traits in someone they’re worried about, they hesitate to intervene.
