Our work in suicide prevention

We focus on helping individuals regain control of their lives by addressing key areas of their wellbeing. Each person receives a personalised care plan to ensure their unique needs are met. Based in Nottingham, the organisation offers in-person support to local residents and telephone support nationwide.

A variety of services are available, including: individualised one-on-one sessions covering benefits; welfare, PIP, and employment support; supportive group sessions; gentle walks; and exploratory visits to places of interest.
