In the driving seat

PAPYRUS mission statement: PAPYRUS is a voluntary organisation committed to the prevention of young suicide and to the promotion of good mental health and emotional well-being.

It was founded in 1997 by parents whose sons or daughters had taken their own lives.

Its main aims are:

To promote an understanding of the unique contribution that parents, families and carers can make to suicide prevention.

To promote public awareness of the importance of emotional well-being and good mental health.

Membership is open to anyone with an interest in suicide prevention.

Membership application forms are available from our office or download from here.
