HOPELINEUK Debrief Service launched by PAPYRUS for the Prevention of Young Suicide
The helpline is available for young people who are experiencing thoughts of suicide, or for anyone concerned that a young person is thinking about suicide.
HOPELINEUK advisers work with both concerned others and young people to understand why these thoughts of suicide might be present. They also want to provide a safe space to talk through anything happening in a young person’s life that could be impacting on themselves or anyone else’s ability to stay safe.
The helpline is targeted at:
- Children and young people under the age of 35 who are experiencing thoughts of suicide
- Anyone concerned that a young person could be thinking about suicide
Young People
HOPELINEUK advisers are all trained to help you focus on staying safe from suicide. Their training enables them to provide advice and support that may help you to move forward and stay alive.
Concerned Others
If you are concerned that a young person is feeling suicidal, advisers can support you to start a conversation about suicide and explore options of how best to support them.
