The second Advert was inspired in the school by a mother called shirley whose story will appear on this website, whose son took his own life two years ago. An important aspect of understanding mental health and emotional awareness is through real stories and real experiences in the school. After researching the young people decided to link up with the samaritans to use the previous campagin in cinemas and the contacts we had developed to help with this project. On the 30th November 2006 Denise Robertson ITV This Morning's well known agony aunt lauched the advert premiered in Sunderland proving to be a big success showing at over 50 cinemas across the UK over the christmas period early in the new year 2007. It is still shown in targetted areas in parts of the UK today in support of generating awareness of the email and text service provided by the samaritans.
