ABOUT US
WHAT WE DO
FOCUS (Focusing On Community & Understanding Suicide) is a group of young people, that have come together with the aim of raising suicide awareness and other issues affecting young people in our community. The group was set-up in by young people who had directly experienced the effects of suicide through the loss of family members and friends. Through their experience these young people wanted to reach out to other young people to highlight how being involved in a group like FOCUS has helped them deal with the effects of suicide and that there is support out there to help deal with issues around mental health problems.
HOW CAN WE HELP
People of all ages find it hard to share their feelings with others and often keep everything locked up inside, creating a sense of hopelessness. Simply talking and sharing problems, can help. By working together we may find ways of helping and supporting individuals cope better with issues or worries they are facing.
It can be hard to take that first step, but we would like to break down those barriers and promote the fact that talking and sharing problems is both helpful and healthy.
Whatever your problem, however big or small, you will be made welcome at Focus and listened to with total respect.
