Hope4U Foundation

Suicide and self-harm prevention workshops

Suicide and self-harm prevention

When life feels overwhelming, when thoughts become too heavy to hold, or when someone you love is in deep pain, it’s hard to know where to begin. The silence surrounding suicide and self-harm can leave people feeling isolated, ashamed, or afraid to speak up. At Hope4U, we believe no one should have to face these experiences alone. Whether you’re supporting someone close to you or facing your own struggles, we offer a space of warmth, understanding, and non-judgement, a place where it’s safe to talk, and okay not to be okay.

Gentle support for those who are struggling — or caring for someone who is

When someone you love is hurting — or when you’re struggling yourself — it can be hard to know where to turn. At Hope4U, we understand how complex, painful, and overwhelming these experiences can feel. Whether you’re navigating suicidal thoughts, concerned about someone close to you, or trying to make sense of self-harming behaviours, you’re not alone.

This is a safe and supportive space to talk, to be seen, and to begin to find your way through.

Hope4U will soon be introducing Suicide and Self-Harm Prevention Workshops, created with compassion, lived experience, and a deep understanding of the courage it takes to ask for help. These workshops will be designed to gently support individuals and families through education, open conversation, and practical tools, no judgement, no pressure.

They’ll be suitable for:

  • People who are struggling with thoughts of suicide or self-harm

  • Friends or family members wanting to understand and support a loved one

  • Anyone looking to break the silence and stigma around mental health

The exact format is still being shaped, but our’s focus will always be on care, connection, and meeting people where they are.

If this sounds like something you or someone you care about might benefit from, you’re welcome to reach out for more information or express interest in joining once the workshops are launched.

Support available now

If you need someone to talk to now, Hope4U is currently offering counselling sessions in a warm, private, and understanding environment. These sessions can help you:

  • Talk through what you’re feeling in a confidential space

  • Explore how to support someone close to you

  • Understand what’s happening and feel less alone

This is a space for honesty, safety, and hope, whatever you’re facing, there is support available.
