Preventing suicide since 2005.
Uniting people against suicide every day.

Why we exist

One in four of us will have suicidal thoughts in our life.

CALM’s vision is that no one feels like suicide is their only option. But right now, too many people are struggling to see a way forward.

Every day in the UK we lose 18 people to suicide. This isn’t just a stat on a page. These are our mums and dads, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, partners and friends. That’s why we’re here to help anyone struggling with life - and provide everyone with the skills to help prevent suicide.

What we do

Helping people end their misery, not their lives

People who feel suicidal will often say that they don’t want to die - they want the pain and misery they’re experiencing to end.

But when you’re struggling, you often can’t see a way out. You see suicide as the only option. But we know it’s not. We know there’s always a reason to stay.

That’s why our mission is to help people end their misery, not their lives.

• We provide life-saving services, information and advice to help anyone struggling with life navigate the issues that can make us feel miserable.
• We’ve got trusted tools that give you practical ways to manage your mental health.
• We campaign to make sure everyone has the knowledge and skills to unite against suicide.
