“PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their confidential helpline, HOPELINEUK. HOPELINEUK is open 9am-12am (midnight) every day of the year. You can call them on 0800 068 4141. Text them via 07860 039967. Or, email them via [email protected]
PAPYRUS engages communities and volunteers in suicide prevention projects and deliver training programmes to individuals and groups. This includes equipping local councils, healthcare professionals and school staff with suicide prevention skills.
PAPYRUS aims to shape national social policy and make a significant contribution to the local and regional implementation of national suicide prevention strategies wherever they can. Their campaigning comes from their passion as individuals, parents, families and communities who have been touched personally by young suicide. They press for change in many places using hard-hitting and dynamic campaigns as well as presenting evidence to those in power so that lessons can be learned and learning implemented to help save young lives.”
