Our aim is to provide support to individuals who may
find themselves in a suicidal crisis.
In recent years the Isle of Man has seen a significant increase in death by suicide. We understand that the Isle of Man was the only area of the U.K with an increase in deaths by suicide during the Pandemic. “For 14 years the suicide rate on the Island has been statistically similar to the U.K However, the rate increased in 2019/2020 with 22 people per 85,000 population” - IOM Government (average suicide rate in the UK = 11 people/100,000 population)
We provide an alternative service, to those already available on the Isle of Man. We offer a phone helpline which anyone in a suicidal crisis can call. Once initial contact has been made, we give callers the option to access a phone counselling service, to help them to get through their ‘darkest days’. These are short-term interventions, rather than a long-term solutions.
Our expert Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) training will also offer the Manx Community with opportunities to obtain the skills and confidence to have conversations around the topic of suicide and suicidal ideation.
​
Ultimately, Isle Stand Up To Suicide aims to work
to reduce the number of lives
tragically lost on the IOM to suicide.
​
Help us to make the difference!
