Orkney’s arts and culture programme hears creative work from members of the Orkney Blide Trust – first presented at their Headspace Showcase in the summer – with honest reflections on living with mental ill health, suicidal thoughts and self harm, and on the journey to recovery.

If you’ve been affected by any of the issues in the programme, you’ll find sources of help on the Â鶹Éç Actionline website /actionline/ or from the Blide Trust in Orkney. Their website is www.blidetrust.org.uk, or you can phone them on 01856 874874.

Specialist help for people who self harm is available through Penumbra and their Self Harm Network at SelfHarmNetworkScotland.org.uk. And you can call the Samaritans 24 hours a day on 116123.
