World Suicide Prevention Day will be held on the Tuesday 10th September 2024. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness around the world of suicide and the impact and effects of it, so suicide can be prevented. Every year, organisations and communities around the world come together to raise awareness of the impact and effects of suicide and how we can create a world where fewer people die by suicide.
It's important to talk and write about suicide safely and responsibly....
Read MoreThose of us who have experienced this terrible tragedy truly understand. None of us need to suffer alone. Together we help each other.
We help individuals support each other, at the time of their loss and in the months and years that follow. We aim to provide safe, confidential environments where people can share their experiences and feelings, giving and gaining support from each other.
By entering your postcode or local town, you can locate your nearest peer to peer support group. We offer both face to face and virtual support groups. Our group facilitators have also been bereaved by suicide, so you will be met with understanding.
Call our national supportline to talk about your loss, get help on being impacted by suicide or for information. Our phones are answered by trained volunteers who have impacted by suicide, so will hear you with compassion and understanding.
Please contact 0300 111 5065, we are open everyday 9am-7pm
Some people find it easier to write down their thoughts and feelings or ask for information when it might be difficult to pick up a phone. Like the Supportline, our Volunteers have experience of suicide bereavement.
