About us
PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide is the UK charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people. We believe that no young person should have to struggle alone with thoughts of suicide.

Mission, vision, values
PAPYRUS exists to reduce the number of young people who take their own lives, by shattering the stigma surrounding suicide and equipping young people and their communities with the skills to recognise and respond to emotional distress.

Suicide Bereavement Survey

The University of Manchester in collaboration with the Support after Suicide Partnership (SASP) – the UK’s hub of suicide bereavement organisations – are conducting a national survey to identify the experiences of people bereaved or affected by suicide in the UK. It is hoped that the findings will inform policy and lead to improved provision of support. They would like as many people as possible to complete the anonymous online survey, which will close in August 2018. For more information and to access to the survey, please visit: www.supportaftersuicide.org.uk/research
