Day by Day
Our partner SASP runs a Day by Day, a Suicide Prevention Project which aims to support young adults aged 16-25 in Somerset who are or have been at risk of self-harm and suicide. We provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about your feelings, connect with others, and explore new ways to manage your mental health.
Day by Day
Thank you for the incredible response to our Day By Day suicide prevention project. We have received a high number of nominations for our 1-2-1 support and to ensure we can provide the best possible support, we are not accepting any new nominations at this time. We are truly grateful for the kindness and compassion shown by our community. Your support helps us continue our vital work in suicide prevention across Somerset. Please check back for updates as the project progresses.
Wellbeing Mentors
We will support you with a wellbeing mentor who can:
- Help you express what you’re feeling and experiencing
- Introduce you to ideas and approaches that others have found helpful
- Reassure you that you are not alone in how you feel
- Support you in building social connections and a sense of belonging
- Encourage you to recognise your strengths and self-worth
- Boost your self-esteem and confidence
- Guide you toward feeling more hopeful about the future
Our wellbeing mentors have personal experiences of mental health challenges and use their own journeys to offer support, guidance, and reassurance. Through sport and physical activity, we support you to improve your mental well-being, strengthen social connections, and develop confidence in a way that feels engaging and empowering.
Through funding from Rethink and the Open Mental Health Alliance, we are carrying out targeted work around suicide prevention. Over the past two years, our We’ve Got This project highlighted the critical need for more support for young people in crisis. We are committed to bridging these gaps and ensuring that those at risk receive the help they need when they need it most.
