Hi there,

We're here to support young people up to the age of 35, within the UK, who are experiencing thoughts of suicide. We offer a safe space to talk about thoughts of suicide and practical support around managing those thoughts and keeping safe.

However, we are only able to support young people within the UK.
If you're in need of a helpline local to where you are right now you can use this website to see what's accessible:-
https://findahelpline.com/

We hope you're able to get the support you need and deserve.

HOPELINE247 💜
