You are loved. You are amazing. Your life has purpose and meaning. There is always someone who will listen, someone who cares. If you were not here you would be missed. We believe God loves you and is for you - he created you and made you totally awesome and amazing.
We know life can get tough, things can go wrong, people can let you down - if this is you right now talk to someone - the Samaritans will listen, call 116 123. For men check out Andy's Man Club.
CNI Network have worked with the Calderdale Methodist Circuit (who run CNI Network local project Bus Oasis) on this and are keen to get the messages in the Word Clouds above out to as many people as possible - we believe that a simple hello or reading a positive message can have a massive impact on a person.
Please do download (right click and save image as) and share on social media or print, laminate and attach to places where messages of encouragement may help someone (you could pray for the area as well for peace and protection). Here is an A4 sheet you can use (print double sided, laminate, cut, punch a hole then attach!) You could also be creative and write the messages onto cloth hearts along with designs and place in a cellphone wrap (craft shops will sell these) or create designs on stones (see below).
This video from the Samaritans shows how a simple "hello" can work:

These stickers are also available from I Choose Life Foundation who provide support for anyone who is struggling with the enormous challenges we know life can bring. From daily stresses to bullying, isolation and divorce to loss, trauma, even overwhelming feelings of guilt, anxiety and loneliness. We know these and many more experiences can take their toll on us and often lead to our mental health crashing.
