Campaign Against Living Miserably

06/10/2026

Adam’s just got back off holiday and sent this message to the team this morning. It's already made our week.

When we teamed up with Art Of Football on our Support Your Mates tees, we did it to remind people to check in with the people they care about. Cos it can make a proper difference.

So, knowing this tee actually sparked someone to look out for a total stranger is incredible.

If you know a couple who were scoffing pizza in Florence over the weekend, tag ‘em so Adam can give a proper thanks.

Disclaimer: We can’t guarantee that wearing CALM merch will score you a free meal. But it does look good AND helps us run our life-saving services 👀 👏

Su***de prevention hero, Kit Birks, has won a Pride of Britain award. 🏆

Kit walked an incredible 5000 miles across Europe, raising money for James’ Place UK and CALM. She shared her story along the way, talking about her own experience of su***de and recovery.

Kit said: “I hope this shows people who are struggling that life does indeed get good again and not only that, but it presents you with wonderful unimaginable moments that are definitely worth sticking around for.” 💚

HUGE congrats to Kit. Such a well deserved award - not just for the epic amount of steps, but for the thousands of people who have seen your story and felt hope to stay.

It’s been 2 years since 6,929 balloons took over Westfield to honour the young people who we lost to su***de in the last decade. Since then, we’ve helped more than 200,000 people to show up for the young people in their lives with su***de prevention tools like the C.A.R.E. Kit.

But su***de prevention isn’t just about the big stuff or the emergency moments, it’s about the small stuff we do every day too. The check-in text, the cuppa, the care package through the post, taking ten minutes to learn vital su***de prevention steps, or sharing this post so more people learn about CALM.

Do something small this World Su***de Prevention Day. 💚

Because su***de prevention is more than helping someone in an emergency moment. It’s about stopping them getting there in the first place. It’s about small acts that add up. Support systems that can take the pressure when things get too much. Knowing what to do. How to say it. Feeling awkward, but reaching out anyway.

That’s what su***de prevention is. And we can’t do it without you. 🤝

We’re devastated to hear the youth su***de prevention charity PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Su***de has gone into administration.

They are a vital su***de prevention service offering critical support to under 35s.

Our thoughts are with the entire Papyrus team during this incredibly difficult time. We want to acknowledge and honour the extraordinary work they have done in youth su***de prevention, and the countless lives they have saved.

Our immediate priority, alongside our partners across the wider mental health sector, is working to address this urgent gap in crisis support in the UK.

Our su***de prevention helpline is here for you if you need support on 0800 58 58 58 (open daily, 5pm-midnight).

For support outside of these hours, or for tailored support for those aged under 18, please contact Samaritans, Shout or NHS 111 mental health services.

If you’re struggling now, remember help is available. There’s always a reason to Stay. To make sure no one is left without help, we’ve published a list of services at thecalmzone.net - link in the comments below.

Take care,

The entire CALM team.

The government has announced plans for 100 new walk-in mental health centres in places like banks and libraries - and you won’t need a referral.

There are also going to be 59 new dedicated mental health A&Es.

The fact that people in England needing immediate care for their mental health problems will be able to access specialist walk-in hubs close to their home could be game-changing - and is a huge step forward.

Of course, it’s just the beginning. With around 1.8 million people on mental health waiting lists this can't come soon enough, but absolutely all of us deserve to access these services. So we're going to need more.

We need more hubs, more trained staff, and a bigger slice of the pie if we’re going to turn the tide on su***de - which is still sitting at a 25-year high.

Government plans network of nearly 200 specialist services to help those facing mental health crises.

This isn’t us saying that a packet of crisps can fix everything when life’s unbearably hard. It’s just a reminder that, when things feel like a bit of a sh*tshow, the small stuff matters.

This is su***de prevention 👏 Massive thanks to Joe for choosing to support CALM.

"I reached out to them when I was struggling with my own mental health issues a few years ago. They do so much good work for mental health and it's something I really do believe in." 💚
