About Isle Stand Up To Suicide
Welcome to Isle Stand Up To Suicide. We are an Isle of Man based suicide prevention charity, launched in 2023. Our mission is to provide support for people in suicidal crisis, offer a listening helpline, counselling, and QPR suicide prevention training. We are dedicated to creating a safe and compassionate community, where every life is valued and supported.
In 2020 the Isle of Man registered 24 deaths as suicide. In addition, there was a significant increase in suicide, and suspected suicide deaths in 2019, 2020 and 2022.” (ref: ‘Saving Lives: ending Suicide-IOM Government Suicide Prevention Strategy-March 2023).
​
We believe 1 life lost to suicide is 1 life too many. Suicide is one of the most preventable forms of death, IF, individuals in a suicidal crisis are able to access appropriate help quickly and effectively at their point of need.
We want to create a society in the Isle of Man where suicide is brought, ‘out of the shadows and into the light’. Only by removing the stigma and discrimination around suicide, can we encourage more people to reach out for help.
