About these posters
They say that depression can affect anyone, set out ways to reach out, and give do and don't tips for supporting a friend or colleague who is struggling. They do not list symptoms, diagnose or give treatment advice, because that is for a doctor or other health professional. A write-in box lets you add your own contacts, and the signposting names established helplines only. Download A4 or A3 PDFs, with ink-light versions of two posters.
Questions
Do the posters list symptoms?
No. They focus on awareness and talking to someone, not on diagnosis. People worried about how they feel should speak to their GP.
Which services are named?
Samaritans, Childline for under-19s and 999 for emergencies. Check the details on each service's own site before display.
Are they suitable for schools?
Yes, for older pupils and staff, with your pastoral team's contacts in the write-in box. Check with your safeguarding lead first.
Can I print them in black and white?
Yes. Two of the posters have an ink-light version that prints with outlines only.
