Our voluntary workers support children aged 12 upwards, young people and adults. If we are busy or closed and you need help in a life threatening situation, call 999 immediately.

Moving forwards: Online chat service, group meetings, mobile services to be announced.

Group Mental Health Meetings

During 2024, our highly regarded and well attended group meetings will be regular events which are free to the public. Many of these events will cover Warwickshire and our local communities including Kenilworth, Stratford Upon Avon, Leamington Spa, Rugby, Warwick and Solihull, but also across the UK

Our meetings are spaces where people can feel safe, unjudged and free to speak and/or listen as they choose about their experiences of poor mental health, suicidal ideation and attempted suicide. If you've been affected in anyway at all, please feel free to join us.

If you’re a local or national business who wishes to sponsor a meeting, please mail contact@sossilenceofsuicide.org

Volunteer training and qualifications

All of our remote and inface voluntary workers and employees undergo our rigorous and extensive training so that they approach each call on its own merit, as each caller is unique. All voluntary workers hold an enhanced DBS certificate to ensure safety for everyone.

Confidentiality

We take confidentiality very seriously and understand how important it is to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for you to talk. All of our services are completely confidential. which means that anything you say to us will be kept private. Our duty of care means we must ask you to call 999 if there is an immediate risk to your life or safety. If you will not do this, we may have to do it for you.
