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.
