"We are all incredible beings, and there’s no shame in feeling a little down every now and then.
There is a place, and there are people, you can turn to when you feel like there isn’t. That place is CALM."
RKZ, DJ & MUSICIAN
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male.
CALM exists to change this.

The Lives Left Behind
Lauren Oxley takes an in depth looking into support groups for people who are bereaved.
Lauren interviewed John and Paul from SoBS Cumbria and Gwen from the Scottish Borders SoBS Group.
The National Suicide Prevention Alliance aims to:
​
-
Reducing stigma: Wanting all parts of society talking about suicide and taking action to maintain good mental health, so that it is as normal as talking about and maintaining physical health.
-
Encouraging help-seeking: More people who are experiencing emotional distress to seek help before they become suicidal.
-
Providing the appropriate support: Ensuring that when people in emotional distress seek help, they receive appropriate support from the people or organisations they approach and that they are offered appropriate options.
-
Reducing access to means: To be harder for people experiencing severe emotional distress to have access to the means to take their own life.
-
Reducing the impact of suicide: People affected by suicide get the support they need to cope with the impact on their life.
-
Improving data & evidence: Better official data about suicide in England and more evidence about effective suicide prevention. Those working in suicide prevention should find it easier to obtain this data and evidence.
-
Working together: Other organisations with an interest in suicide prevention collaborating with each other to make a bigger difference.
Take the training
Zero Alliance provide a range of awareness training options, which provide a better understanding of the signs to look out for and the skills required to approach someone who is struggling, whether that be through social isolation or suicidal thoughts.
