STEPWAY

Our work in suicide prevention

At STEPWAY, we’re committed to preventing suicide and supporting those affected by it. We know how important it is to work together, sharing knowledge, expertise, and resources. We empower veterans to recognise and address their mental health challenges, encouraging open conversations to break down stigma and connecting them with the right health professionals.

Through our training and support programmes, we help individuals overcome personal barriers, and we work closely with partners to raise awareness, tackle deprivation, and promote mental well-being across the West Midlands. By developing our volunteers, we ensure ongoing support while improving social inclusion and reducing isolation.

Our current priorities

STEPWAY’s current priorities are both additional and complimentary to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of interventions aimed at the “hard to reach” veterans that are most at risk. The impact is to make a significant contribution providing direct support to veterans who are at considerable risk of suicide.

Our current challenges

STEPWAY will continue supporting veterans in building relationships with the wider community, bridging the gap, and improving mental and physical wellbeing.
