Join us today – Grassroots is a leading UK charity in suicide prevention. We provide expertise, training and resources to help communities, organisations and individuals effectively support people at risk of suicide or experiencing mental health problems.
Educating
We have trained over 15,000 people in courses that are practical and accessible, with some places free to access.
Connecting
Our “Find Help Now” pages can guide you in finding a national or local support service that is right for you.
Influencing change
Our Real Talk and other community programmes spread the word that it’s OK to talk about suicide.
In the UK, 1 in 5 think about suicide in their lifetime
1 in 4 experience mental ill-health in their lifetime
Which means there is nothing unusual about having difficulties with mental health.
1 in 15 attempt suicide in their lifetime
Through education and training, we can better reach out to people when they’re at their most vulnerable.
