Worried about someone? Support for anyone under 35 experiencing thoughts of suicide, or anyone concerned that a young person may be experiencing thoughts of suicide

Website: www.mollyrosefoundation.org

The aim of the Molly Rose Foundation is suicide prevention, targeted towards young people under the age of 25.  Many young people feel they are a burden or undeserving of support. By asking the question, you are showing that you are ready to listen and will help them to access support. Not asking is too great a risk to take.  We want to help spot those suffering from mental illness and connect them to the help, support, and practical advice they need.

Self Help Resources

Students Against Depression is a website offering advice, information, guidance, and resources to those affected by low mood, depression, and suicidal thinking.  Alongside clinically-validated information and resources it presents the experiences, strategies, and advice of students themselves – after all, who are better placed to speak to their peers about how depression can be overcome.

For support call:  0300 1020 505 (midday to midnight daily)

We support everyone affected by suicide, whether they be bereaved, having thoughts of suicide, or have attempted suicide.  Everyone is vulnerable, especially right now when the world as we know it has changed, bringing mental health fragilities to those who have never experienced them and an escalation of poor mental health for vulnerable people who were already struggling.  The shame, stigma and silence that surrounds not just suicide, but mental health generally, is something we are passionate about changing.  No one should feel judged.  No one should feel awkward.  No one should feel isolated, we will continue to support everyone and anyone who needs our help.
