Getting Help: If you are feeling suicidal, there are people you can talk to who want to help:
Worried about someone who is feeling suicidal
If you are worried that someone you know may be considering suicide, try to encourage them to talk about how they are feeling. Listening is the best way to help. Try to avoid offering solutions and try not to judge. If they have previously been diagnosed with a mental health condition, such as depression, you may be able to speak to a member of their care team for help and advice.

Helplines and Support Groups
Help for young men
Men may be more likely to avoid or ignore problems and many are reluctant to talk about their feelings or
seek help when they need it. A support group called the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is an excellent resource for young men who are feeling unhappy. As well as the website, CALM also has
a helpline. Open 5pm-midnight, every day of the year. Calls to the London number are free. Calls to the National number are free from payphones and from mobiles on 3, Virgin, Orange networks. Some
supermarket sims may charge though on calls to both numbers.
For texts, we don’t charge, but your service provider might. Calls won’t show up on your phone bill.
London Text Service: Text CALM1 to 07537 404717
