Our local hero John Hewitt has completed his Suicide Alertness Training and now wears the orange button 
"I have completed the quality assured Mental Health or Suicide Prevention training, I now wear with pride the orange button. Find below what the ornage button stands for...
People who are having thoughts of suicide, or who are worried about a friend or family member, can now “push the button” when they see someone wearing a distinctive orange badge, and ask them for information and support.
The Orange Button is worn by people in Somerset who have undergone quality assured Mental Health or Suicide Prevention training: whilst they are not able to counsel people, they can help you to find relevant services locally.
The Orange Button signifies that the person displaying it is:
OK to say/hear the word suicide
Can listen without judgement
Can support people with signposting
So I am here if anyone needs to talk"
