The Stay Alive app is a suicide prevention resource for the UK, packed full of useful information and tools to help you stay safe in crisis. You can use it if you are having thoughts of suicide or if you are concerned about someone else who may be considering suicide.

In addition to the resources, the app includes a safety plan, customisable reasons for living, and a LifeBox. Here you can store photos and memories that are important to you.

You can also read the strategies for staying safe or explore the tips on how to stay grounded when you’re feeling overwhelmed. Try the guided-breathing exercises, and support your wellness by creating your own interactive Wellness Plan.

We believe there’s no shame in reaching out for help if you are feeling stressed, depressed or experiencing suicidal crisis in some form. If you’re not sure of who to reach out to in your community and don’t want to download the app, some of the contacts on our “Find Help Now” pages could help. People who care are ready to help you right now.

Clarity Wellbeing Services was established in 2012 by Joanne Britton to meet the growing need for early intervention and support for mothers suffering from Postnatal Depression and Postnatal Anxiety.

Since then Clarity has expanded their services offering a range of therapeutic courses as well as couple and individual counselling to families within Suffolk and Norfolk.

We believe our therapeutic framework delivers a strong early help strategy to the individual and whole family unit.

Clarity Wellbeing Services is committed at every level and in all aspects of the service it offers to provide a confidential service to all those access our services.

Services Offered:

Beyond Birth is an 8 week course specifically designed for mothers, although becoming a parent can be an amazing experience there can be times when you can feel isolated and overwhelmed with the changes that occur after birth.

This course is designed to explore these changes, aiding the transition into parenting, allowing you to retain your sense of self.

Subjects covered

¨ The unrealistic pressures society/media place on parents.

¨ ‘Me’ Time how to retain a sense of self.

¨ The dream of becoming a parent versus the reality.

¨ How destructive thoughts can cloud our happiness.

¨ Perfectionism and Guilt .

¨ Low mood/Anxiety and how to overcome it.

¨ Changing relationships with self and others.

¨ Relaxation & Visualisation.

¨ How we learn to parent.

¨ Confidence & Self Esteem

¨ Healthy expression of Anger & much more!

The course is 8 weeks long and operates at the same time each week. Each session lasting 2 hours. The course operates both privately and funded through some Children Centres. Please enquire for more information on courses in your area.

Private Counselling

People seek counselling for a variety of reasons. You do not have to be in crisis to choose to have counselling, you may just be experiencing feelings of dissatisfaction with life. Sometimes people are clear about what is troubling them but just need support and clarity to help them through a difficult period, on other occasion’s people recognise that they keep repeating the same destructive patterns in life and are keen to explore the contributing factors in therapy.

Whatever your concern counselling offers you the opportunity to discuss your feelings freely with a trained therapist in a safe, non judgemental, confidential setting.

Counselling offers face-to-face sessions either on a long term or short term basis. A therapy session is a time set aside on agreed date at an agreed place, usually

weekly and sessions last for 60 minutes. Private Fee: £45.00 per hour.

In your first session you will have the opportunity to explain why you have come to counselling at this particular time in your life and to ask questions about how counselling can support you in your current difficulties.

We have counsellors experienced in the following areas;

Anxiety

Depression

Bereavement/Loss

Childhood Abuse

Anger Management

Relationship Issues

Domestic Violence

Post Natal Depression/Anxiety

Parenting Issues

SANE provides emotional support, guidance and information to anyone affected by mental illness, including families, friends and carers.

Our mental health support services are confidential. We offer non-judgemental and compassionate emotional support. Our team of mental health professionals and trained volunteers create a space where you feel safe to talk about things that are most affecting you. We also make time so we can think together about the options available to you.

Our work has three key elements. Each one is designed to address the most fundamental challenges faced by those affected by mental illness: the lack of support in a crisis; challenges with navigating the mental health system and accessing the right ongoing support; and social isolation.
