Fantastic turnout and feedback for our 1st NW Summit event…
Following the tragic death of online activist Aaron Swartz last week, CALM Director, Jane Powell, joined a panel of experts for a live ITN Truthloader discussion about young male suicide. You can watch the full debate here via the Truthloader YouTube channel.
The story of Aaron Swartz:
Us guys aren’t naturally the most forthcoming about dealing with pressure and often bottle our problems up. It’s really encouraging that there is a charity like CALM to offer the help and support that a lot of men need when they feel low.

Any financial support you can give is hugely appreciated. We aren't funded by Government, and frankly struggle for every penny to keep our helpline going. We've recently been able to expand our helpline opening hours to seven days a week, and that was purely down to public donations. It costs us about £3,500 to run the helpline for a week as is, so if you can give even a little regularly, that would be fantastic.
Huge thanks.
Goodbye Aaron. The world is mourning for you. It is a tragedy that not enough people realised the injustice being done to you until it was too late. We have lost another tremendously gifted and talented young man, at a time when we really need more like you. The world will not be the same without you. We must do something to stop losing more like you.
