CALM

The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) charity is a leading movement against suicide.

CALM runs a free confidential helpline and webchat, 7 hours a day, 7 days a week.

They also support those bereaved by suicide, through the Support After Suicide Partnership (SASP).

CALM runs several initatives including #Project84, #DontBottleItUp and The Best Man Project.

They also see benefits in moving away from societies expectation that being an adult has to always be boring and stressful. They help people get enjoyment back in their lives, for example through art, music, sport and comedy.
