About LIPS

LIPS was established in 2017 by a group of local volunteers who had experienced the loss of a loved one through suicide.

Working within our local community we want to beat the stigma around suicide.

LIPS aim to reduce deaths by suicide through crisis intervention, signposting, providing training, facilitating workshops and engaging with everyone from individuals to schools, colleges, community partners, GPs & MDT Teams, local businesses and statutory partners.
