PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide is the UK charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide in young people.
Suicide is the biggest killer of people aged 35 and under in the UK. PAPYRUS believes that suicide is preventable. We draw from the experience of many who have been touched personally by young suicide across the UK and speak on their behalf in our campaigns and in our endeavours to save young lives. Together, we believe that with appropriate support and education, many young suicides can be prevented.
Our organisation exists to help the survivors of a bereavement by suicide to support each other, at the time of their loss and in the months and years that follow. We are a self-help organisation providing a safe, confidential environment in which those bereaved by suicide, can share their experiences and feelings.
We offer peer led support groups, online virtual support groups, a national telephone helpline, online community forum and email support. We offer a unique and distinct service for bereaved adults across the UK, run by the bereaved for the bereaved.
We are the largest provider of domestic abuse refuges in London and have the largest team of specialists working to combat human trafficking across the capital and the South East. We help people find a permanent home, manage their finances and take care of their health. We also help access to work, training or education, as well as providing emotional and practical support to help people succeed in their daily lives. Our free mobile app Bright Sky has been developed to support victims of domestic abuse and their families.
We are a charity supporting arts and community initiatives within Kentish Town Health Centre in Camden, north London. Our aim is to relieve mental and physical suffering through the use of the arts and holistic care.
We work in partnership with the James Wigg and Queens Crescent GP practices as part of a social prescribing model, meaning we take in-house referrals for registered patients. At times we are able to wider accommodate those living in the borough of Camden that are not registered patients and general public events.
Stuart Low Trust (SLT) is a health promotion charity based in Islington, but open to all. Our mission is to ensure that local people, especially those experiencing social isolation or mental distress, have access to the support they need for better health and wellbeing.
