With Stoptober coming up, we're highlighting the support available through our Stop Smoking Specialist Support Service, which works with adults across Cambridgeshire who smoke and may be experiencing mental health difficulties.

Our person-centred support is built around each individual's needs. Whether someone is ready to quit or wants to take things one step at a time, we offer practical, non-judgemental support through our Ready to Quit and Cut Down to Stop pathways.

Support can include:
💙 Face-to-face, telephone, online and community-based appointments
💙 Behavioural support and encouragement
💙 Access to stop smoking treatments, including ni****ne replacement therapy and other appropriate medications

One person using our service, who was cutting down to stop, told us:
“I don't think I've ever felt so confident in giving up smoking before... It seems more catered to the individual.”

Stopping smoking can be challenging, particularly when you're experiencing mental health difficulties. You don't have to feel completely ready or confident to start a conversation. Our team can help you find an approach that feels achievable.

As part of the STOP Su***de campaign in collaboration with Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire Mind - CPSL Mind, we’re sharing real-life experiences from members of our Fishing Buddies group to highlight the importance of talking and reaching out for support.

The message is simple: One conversation can make a difference. Asking someone how they are — and asking again — can help someone feel less alone.

Ben shared his experience of being diagnosed with bowel cancer and the isolation he felt as a result, highlighting the importance of talking and reaching out for support when things feel difficult.

CPSL Mind offers free STOP Su***de workshops to help people recognise warning signs, have important conversations and support others.

We’re celebrating 10 years of CPSL Mind’s Sanctuary service, which provides safe, compassionate and person-centred support to people experiencing a mental health crisis.

Working in partnership with the NHS First Response Service, the Sanctuary has supported thousands of people across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough through face-to-face, virtual and telephone support.

Over the last 12 months alone, over 2,300 people have received support from the service.

Behind every number is a person who reached out during a difficult time, and a team of people there to listen, support and help them through it.

A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of Sanctuary’s journey over the past 10 years – our colleagues, partners, volunteers and, most importantly, the people who have trusted us to support them. 💙

Here’s to 10 years of the Sanctuary, and to continuing to be there for people when they need support the most.

Denver’s story 💙

“Talk to someone. You don’t have to go through it on your own.”

For Denver, talking about grief, depression and su***de is an important part of breaking down the stigma that can stop people from reaching out for support.

Through his story, Denver is also shining a light on the positive impact of Fishing Buddies, a community group supporting men’s mental health through friendship, connection and time spent together.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. It takes place globally each year to raise awareness of su***de, reduce stigma, and encourage action on su***de prevention.

STOP Su***de is an award-winning su***de prevention campaign that seeks to empower communities and individuals across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to help stop su***des by being alert to the warning signs, asking directly about su***de and helping those who are feeling suicidal to stay safe.

It is led by Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and South Lincolnshire Mind (CPSL Mind) and supported by local NHS and Public Health teams.

The campaign message is: One conversation can save a life. Talking openly, asking someone how they are and letting them know they’re not alone can make all the difference.

⚠️Trigger warning - this video mentions su***de

STOP Su***de, a su***de prevention campaign led by CPSL Mind and supported by local NHS and Public Health teams, is encouraging people to help change the way su***de is talked about by learning how to recognise when someone may be struggling and having open, supportive conversations.

Dee, who lives in St Neots in Cambridgeshire, reflects on a challenging period in her life when she became isolated from her family and faced pressures with her businesses back home in the Philippines.

In the campaign video, Dee says, “When you go through something so dark and so isolating, there is no hope. I was on a mission to make sure that someone was going to look after my daughter. One of my oldest childhood best friends is a doctor; I said to her: ‘If something is to happen me, please don’t resuscitate.’ I felt like there was no other solution, I was so ready to end it all.”

Dee found the strength and courage to speak up about her challenges and spoke to a friend’s father.

Thank you Dee for sharing your story on this important campaign day 💙

Ashley Bunn, Chief Executive of CPSL Mind said, “On World Su***de Prevention Day, and every day, we must continue to raise awareness about su***de and support people to have open and supportive conversations. Our new strategy outlines how too many people still only reach support at the point of crisis, we will continue to work tirelessly to improve access to timely and accessible support in the community, ensuring people access the right support at the right time for them.”
