Harmless Harmless is the National Centre of Excellence for Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention. We know that with the right support and help, life can get better.

Harmless was founded by Caroline and Amy in October 2007, the duo, both with their own experiences used this and their passion to help others to turn the service from a dream into a reality. We are an all age, user led organisation, that provides a range of services about self harm including support, information, training and consultancy to people to self harm, their friends, families and professionals. We are people who understand self harm and at the heart of our service is a real sense of hope. We believe in hope and recovery. What support do we offer? We offer two streams of support for people that do or are at risk of self harm. These services are equal in terms of quality and skill of the workforce, but differ in terms of approach and the length of time that people can access them. Clinical Support Work draws upon the expertise of a specialist self harm organisation and works to provide a stabilisation intervention to those who self harm. We also have a team of qualified therapists that deliver a range of therapy opportunities to our service users. Trained across different therapy approaches we can provide short term, long term, and sometimes group psychotherapy

We can deliver support through multiple methods including: face to face, phone, online video support, email and post. We have a number of Clinical Support Workers and Therapists based in Nottinghamshire, Bassetlaw, Leicestershire and Rutland delivering one-one weekly emotional and practical support. Training and Information? Harmless has a specialist in-house training department called Let’s Talk Training. Our Specialist Training Team deliver a range of courses round the issues of self harm, suicide prevention, awareness and bereavement and mental health. We also produce a number of leaflets and resources about self harm aimed at improving awareness of self harm, challenging stigma and helping people move towards a better quality of life.

The latest ONS su***de statistics were published last week. But behind every number is a person, a family and a story. We've looked beyond the figures to explore what the data tells us, who is most affected and why understanding the numbers matters for su***de prevention. Because every life matters and every statistic represents someone.

Join a movement, not just a conference.

True change in self harm and su***de prevention doesn't happen in isolation – it happens when frontline practice, clinical expertise, research and lived experience come together in the same room.

That’s why From Harm to Hope is built differently. It’s an opportunity to challenge assumptions, translate evidence into practical action, and build the cross-sector relationships that drive real, lasting impact.

Be part of the conversation that changes how we understand and respond to self harm and su***de crisis.

Therapy and clinical appointments do vital work but talking about what’s hard is only part of getting better. Sometimes you just need a space to be human, get out of your head and feel connected to a community. Our fortnightly Choir for Hope offers a relaxed, low-pressure space to lift your spirits, meet people who understand without asking questions, and rebuild your world outside of appointments.

No auditions, no expectations and no clinical forms.

The Choir for Hope next meets on Tuesday (20th October) with full details available here: https://bit.ly/4rDmBDj
