Northern Ireland has the highest suicide rate in the UK. Suicide rates here have risen by 30% in the last four years. Mental health services are at full capacity. GivBak recognised the pressures the healthcare system was facing and designed the SEP programme to support individuals while waiting for medical appointments. NI residents can be waiting over six months for appointments, and this can often lead them to feel trapped and in a cycle that feels there is little hope or options available. The SEP programme focuses on mindfulness and overcoming personal barriers and fears. The aim is to build confidence, raise self-esteem and help individuals to set goals for the future.
