We Are Together

We Are Together honours those we have lost to suicide in UK universities
and campaigns for positive change in mental health provision.

How to Get Support

You might need help to fathom your grief, find a way forwards and to find hope.  
You might need help because you have lost hope, you are suffering or struggling and you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.
You might be in a position to recommend various different ways to find help – podcasts, books, stories.
Whatever it maybe, please either contribute or read what those who are and have been through the toughest of times recommend.

Below are some Books, Groups, Websites and other resources that some of our visitors have found useful.

This source of help doesn’t need to be a last resort. They can provide support to anyone in distress, having difficulties coping or at risk of suicide, in the UK and Ireland.
Call their free helpline, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
