Suicide Crisis
Suicide Crisis is a registered charity running an award-winning Suicide Crisis Centre in the UK. We provide face-to-face support, home visits, and emergency phone lines for those in crisis. We also deliver suicide prevention training across the UK, sharing our approach with organisations like NHS Trusts, the British Transport Police, and charities, while contributing to national and international suicide prevention initiatives.
Our work in suicide prevention
It became evident within weeks of opening our Suicide Crisis Centre that we needed to offer more than just a safe space for individuals in crisis. One of our first clients was so traumatised that he couldn’t leave his home, showing us the need to visit some clients where they are. We believe our ability to provide home visits—sometimes in emergency situations—has saved lives, as not everyone at imminent risk of suicide could reach our centre.
In addition to face-to-face support, we offer emergency phone lines for clients under our care. These are not general helplines but designated lines available day and night for those at immediate risk of suicide. We also visit clients in other locations when informed that someone is at imminent risk.
Beyond crisis support, we deliver suicide prevention training across the UK, including for the NHS and British Transport Police, sharing our unique methods, approach, and ethos. We also provide free training for carers’ groups, supporting families of individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts.
Our work extends to national suicide prevention initiatives. Our CEO has been invited to address Parliamentary Select Committees, contributing to inquiries on suicide prevention and men’s health
Our current priorities
Our current priorities remain focused on continuing the work we have carried out over the past 12 years: supporting individuals in suicidal crisis, providing training to help others understand how to support people in crisis, and contributing to national and international suicide prevention initiatives
Our current challenges
We have relied heavily on public donations in previous years. Public support for our work has been wonderful. But the cost-of-living crisis has led to a significant drop in our income this year.
