Cycle Against Suicide is charity that makes a valuable contribution to the public education of mental health by changing the narrative surrounding suicide.  When an individual is vulnerable enough to consider taking their own life, silence is read as indifference. With hundreds of people dying by suicide each year and research indicating that thousands more contemplate it, we all have a role to play to collectively address the challenges that suicide presents.  In a bid to save more lives, Cycle Against Suicide through its programmes, sets out to change culture and create a society that openly talks about suicide to allow people to speak up and seek help.

  It’s OK not to feel OK; and it is absolutely OK to ask for help’
