Mission Statement
Northwest Stop value and care for each person who seeks our services. Through our experience of working with self- harm and suicide we acknowledge the very difficult life events that can lead people to hurt themselves, or end their lives.
Our purpose is to provide a safe, confidential place where you can safely talk about the loss, stress, confusion, conflicts and other pain in your life. Our style of Counselling is to Listen, Support and perhaps help you with insight to either change what is possible to change or to live more contentedly and creatively with that which is not. We will act to intervene with appropriate support, commitment and compassion.
Adequate funding must be provided for suicide prevention, otherwise we cannot be effective. Northwest Stop will continue to lobby for regular funding for similar voluntary groups. We greatly acknowledge all the groups, individuals, clubs, organisations and agencies that consistently fund raise for Northwest Stop. You people are our anchors and we appreciate you and your kindness.

Facts and Statistics
Suicide is very often a cry for help, not a wish to die and it can be prevented This is so very often a “high risk” time as the person may find it easier to attempt suicide as they begin to feel better.
Better Mental Health
We take great care of our physical health and well-being – we have regular check ups etc. We must start to think more on how we can improve our emotional and mental health. How do we do that?
