Don't let another light go out!

Mental Health & Suicide Prevention CIC

WHAT WE DO

Main areas of our focus
 

Helping those with mental health issues

We are a mental health and suicide peer support group offering support through real life lived experiences. We are not are qualified professionals so do not advice or diagnose illnesses.

Helping in the prevention of self harm and suicide

Some people feel they have no alternative and can have suicidal tendencies. We at Taketen can offer advice from first hand experiences and try to get everyone to see the light in the darkness.


Fall out relief

Mental health issues can not only impact the lives of those suffering but also those around them. We try to help everyone understand and overcome their issues so that they can live and lead a happy life whilst supporting others.

Helping through education

The taketen team have undertaken a variety of relevant courses in order to ensure we can offer the best support to our people BUT we don't need them to know that your value and you are worth so much more than you believe...

This is our story

Take Ten was launched on 16th May 2018 founded by Stevie Oliver, as a much needed support group for mental health issues and suicide support.

In fact, a survey showed that a qurter of people said Christmas made their mental health worse. This time of year can be really difficult for some...

Everyone can experience poor mental health - whatever their age, gender, race, sexual orientation, beliefs. But some groups within society will experience certain types of mental health issue more often than others, and it's usually due to a common trigger or shared life experiences.
