Here for life
When they’re thinking about suicide or feeling unsafe, young people have to know how and where to find help – and everyone else needs to know what to do and say when it matters most.
That’s why Papyrus exists.
You’re not alone. These figures show just how many young people in the UK are affected by suicide – and why getting the right support early really matters.
