    A simple conversation could help save someone鈥檚 life. If you spot someone who doesn鈥檛 look OK. Small, soft questions can be a gentle way in - they interrupt the cycle of thoughts and help someone shift a little inside and engage with the world outside of their thoughts
    Not sure how to approach someone who might be struggling? Try starting with.. Do you know the nearest place to get a coffee? Hey do you need any help? Do you mind if i set here? That's a very cut dog sitting over there isn't it? Excuse me, do you have the time? It's so rainy today, isn't it!

    More people are turning to AI chatbots for support when they鈥檙e struggling. They're already a part of people鈥檚 lives, but they鈥檙e not fully regulated. We鈥檝e been asking the government to bring them under the Online Safety Act so they are made safer for people at risk of suicide.
