The impact of suicide is devastating for families, communities and people involved in someone’s care.

As members of the Zero Suicide Alliance, we believe that suicide is not inevitable. We play a critical role within the communities of Norfolk and Suffolk to do all we can to prevent suicide by working is closely with our partnership organisations to make a difference.

These pages will provide information and support and where to turn to if you feel you need help. That can mean as an individual or the friends or families of someone who may be suicidal.

Getting urgent help

If you are with someone who has attempted suicide call 999 and stay with them until someone arrives.
