But right now, too many people are struggling to see a way forward. Every day in the UK we lose 18 people to suicide. This isn’t just a stat on a page. These are our mums and dads, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, partners and friends. That’s why CALM is here every day to help anyone struggling with life - and provide everyone with the skills to help prevent suicide. Because suicide prevention doesn’t just start in a moment of crisis. It starts with helping people find the tools to manage their wellbeing every day. It starts with smashing the stigma and changing attitudes towards suicide. It starts with learning life-saving skills so we can support each other. Stopping suicide starts with all of us. Join CALM and play your part in preventing it. </video> <video> Project For Awesome | Campaign Against Living Miserably Description: Since 2020, demand for our helpline and livechat has increased by 74%.

Romesh Ranganathan Description: Stand-up comedian, game-show host… and now very proud CALM Patron. Introducing: Romesh Ranganathan The baton has been passed by Pro Green. The hip hop chain has been handed over. We have a new CALM Patron. And he's here to save lives. He’s been a CALM ambassador for a while now, smashing the silence around suicide through campaigns, podcasts and more. But it’s time to ramp things up a bit… to become CALM Patron. You might be wondering why “that funny man off the TV” is stepping into these big shoes. Well, we thought we’d let Rom explain “The truth is I’ve had many low points in my life which have hammered home just how important help is when you’re struggling. Back when I was a teenager a lot of stuff built up and I seriously thought about taking my own life. 1 in 5 of us will have suicidal thoughts like I did and I want to show that, no matter how bad things feel, there’s always a reason to stay - as well as raising as much money as I can to support as many people as possible.” ---- Learn more about our new CALM Patron ➡️ https://bit.ly/3ZLY01H Chip in and help Rom out with that life-saving £1 million target ➡️ https://bit.ly/3tmgCJG -- Get help with suicidal thoughts ➡️ https://bit.ly/46h1lsf Get advice on helping someone who's feeling suicidal ➡️ https://bit.ly/45qt9ZL </video> <video> THIS IS NOT A DRILL | Chapter 2 Description: If your mates are talking but you’re not hearing them, it’s time to step up.
