Get Support
We are here to help. As part of this journey, we have created a mental health support card detailing key contacts, telephone numbers and websites for anyone to access at any point should they feel vulnerable. It is good to seek help and guidance in a time of darkness and The Heera Foundation wants to show you that ray of hope.
Papyrus:
We exist to reduce the number of young people who take their own lives by shattering the stigma around suicide and equipping young people and their communities with the skills to recognise and respond to suicidal behaviour.Beliefs that guide our thinking:
- PREVENTION: Many young suicides are preventable
- PASSION: Those who are touched personally by a young suicide have a unique contribution to make to our work
- HOPE: No young person should have to suffer alone with thoughts or feelings of hopelessness and nobody should have to go through the heartbreak of losing a young person to suicide
- LEARNING: There are always lessons to be learned from listening to young people at risk of suicide, those who give them support and those who have lost a young person to suicide.
