Here at CALM, it’s our mission to help stop suicide. But we can’t do it alone. With the suicide rate the highest it's been in 25 years, never has it been more important to take a stand united against suicide. So for Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 we’re asking you to join us in making suicide prevention a priority today and every day.
Take a stand against suicide with us this Mental Health Awareness Week
Demand change from government
We're in a cost of living crisis, the suicide rate is the highest it's been in 25 years and the government don't seem to care. We won't stop shouting until things change - and we need your voice to help us demand more funding for mental health and suicide prevention services. Follow us on our socials to join in our demands and share stuff like this, this and this.
Have more conversations with friends, family and colleagues
We know it can be hard but it could be the most important conversation you have. And we’ve got loads of resources to help - like our Worried about Someone Guide.
Donate and support us and our life-saving helpline
The simple truth is that with the demand for our helpline so high we can’t be there for everyone we need to be without the generous donations of people like you. It costs £12.20 to fund a life-saving call - so please give whatever you can today.
EVERY WEEK IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK FOR US
We’ve been making suicide prevention a priority since 1997
Our life-saving helpline is here every day for anyone affected by suicide or suicidal thoughts. But, right now, more people than ever need our services.
Since 2019, demand for our helpline has increased 94%.
And suicide rates are the highest they’ve been in 25 years. Never has it been more important to take a stand united against suicide.
When faced with tough circumstances, suicide should never feel like the only option. But right now, 125 people end their lives every week in the UK. Something has to change.
And for every suicide, 135 people are affected. 135 mothers, fathers, partners, children, siblings, friends. 135 people feel the fallout. The grief. The loss. The unanswered questions.
There’s a lot to do. And we need to do it together.
Join us and help make suicide prevention and mental health a priority every day.
