Next year will be 30 since my Dads passing. I dont know if he would have contacted an organisation like CALM, if it had been around. Back then, probably not. I guess it wasn't the 'done thing' for men in 1995 to seek support for mental health issues. Unfortunately, this is still the case. Suicide is the biggest cause of death in men under 40. Absolutely heartbreaking!

Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. CALM exists to change this by offering life saving services, provoking conversation and bringing people together to reject living miserably.

From advice on our site, through to free, confidential chats with our helpline staff, online or on the phone, we’re here for whoever needs us, every day. No matter what.

£12.20 is enough to fund one potentially life-saving call.
