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 18 people are lost 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 CALM is here to help anyone struggling with life - and provide everyone with the skills to help prevent suicide.
