PAPYRUS is the national charity dedicated to the prevention of young suicide in the UK. PAPYRUS aims to reduce the number of young suicides in the UK and one of the ways in which they do so is by operating a national helpline known as HOPELineUK.
HOPELineUK is run by trained suicide prevention advisors who take calls from anyone concerned about a young person (under 35) or a young suicidal person themselves. Sometimes this young person is a student at university, struggling with their workload, making friends, or adjusting to living on their own and more. Our HOPELineUK advisors can help you identify the support your university can offer and encourage you to ask for it. HOPELineUK also gives university staff advice about how to help the students they support.
All HOPELineUK staff are trained in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills which means we can help you put a safe plan in place for yourself or a young person you are concerned about.
HOPELineUK understands that a life at university isn’t easy, and fully supports University Mental Health Day to raise awareness of this.
Contact HOPELineUK by phone - 0800 068 4141, SMS - 07786 209 697, or email - Pat@papyrus-uk.org between Monday - Friday 10am-5pm and 7pm-10pm, Weekends 2pm-5pm.
