Edge of Crisis Support
Need support or know someone at the edge of crisis?
The Contact Service
The Contact Service supports men who have experienced suicidal thoughts and are at the edge of crisis. Working across Norfolk, our skilled and supportive team help men overcome the barriers that may prevent them opening up and talking to others. Men are not only supported in their mental wellbeing, but also with the practical concerns which may have precipitated their crisis, such as housing, money, or relationship difficulties.
