How to support the relief efforts:

?? Emergency Appeal - PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide ?? For the first time in our 28-year history, PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide is launching an emergency appeal to keep HOPELINE247 running through the night. Without urgent support, we may be forced to make the devastating decision to cut back our services. Every three minutes, a distressed young person contacts HOPELINE247, our suicide prevention helpline. These calls, texts, and messages come during their darkest hours—often in the middle of the night, when other services aren’t available to them. Since extending HOPELINE247 to a 24/7 service last year, demand has surged. In 2024 alone, we had 12,000 life-saving interactions during the night and saw a 66% increase in the number of young people seeking help through our webchat service. These numbers tell us how vital our work is, but rising costs and a sharp decline in donations across the charity sector have brought us to a critical moment. If you are able to donate, please do https://lnkd.in/egAkUJZA

Stay Focused on What Matters Most In times of crisis, it’s easy to get distracted by noise, but as leaders, we must ask ourselves: Who is most vulnerable, and how can we help? Let’s commit to showing up where it matters most—not just in words but in action. When we focus on the vulnerable, we build stronger, more resilient communities that uplift us all. Together, let’s lead with ferocity of intention and purpose. In the timeless words of Charles Xavier, Professor X "Those with the greatest?power… protect those without." We've got work to do in 2025 Management Cues, so let's get to it! #LeadershipWithPurpose #FocusOnTheVulnerable #ManagementCues #EmpoweringLeaders #CommunityImpact
