What we do

We are the national charity for the prevention of suicide by those under the age of 35.

We run a free, confidential helpline service, HOPELINE247, to support people under 35 who are suicidal and people of any age who are concerned about them.

We deliver training in suicide awareness and prevention for professionals who work with young people and those who want to help to create suicide-safer communities in Wales.

We work to influence government policy and the attitude of society towards suicide with the aim of smashing the stigma around the subject.

We support volunteers across Wales who want to make their communities safer and to raise awareness of support services for those under 35 who are suicidal.

Who do we support

HOPELINE247 is for young people under 35 and anyone of any age who may be worried about a young person. We also offer help for professionals.

If you are a young person at risk of suicide or are worried about a young person at risk of suicide, contact the National Confidential Helpline – HOPELINE247 0800 068 41 41.

This is a free and confidential service available across Wales.

PAPYRUS also offers a variety of training courses for those who work with people under the age of 35 which raise suicide awareness and help to equip people with the skills to deal with discussions of suicide and disclosures of suicidal intentions.

This service is for people aged between 0 years and 35 years.
