Nando's Suicide Prevention Day 2023 IG Feeds

One of the posts Nando's wanted included in their September calendar was a static on Suicide Prevention. My thoughts on it? Don't do it just because you have an empty slot in your calendar, but do it with intention. This makes a difference because:

1) You can put words on a page and tell your followers to commemorate the day by thinking about the vulnerable and maybe they will feel it, maybe they won't. After all, mental health awareness is a relatively new conversation in conservative Singapore.

2) You can instead call them to action and show how caring requires effort, but it doesn't take much to make a difference. Simple suggestions on how to make that difference may indeed help make that difference.

As a result, that intended one-page static became a carousel of statics. Hopefully, we can sustain the momentum with something even meatier as we go along.
