Body and Soul
Body & Soul is a UK-based charity that uses a trauma informed and community-based approach that is collaborative, solution focused, and in 2019 was the winner of the prestigious RSPH Ministers Award for Public Mental Health.
Whilst many organisations offer immediate crisis support, there are fewer, who can offer long-term therapeutic, holistic support needed for sustainable change. We offer open ended support for some of the most vulnerable people from the most diverse cultures in our society
As well as therapy, Body & Soul provides long term wrap around support for the person that is struggling and their family, chosen family or support network promoting the ideals of community, connection, and growth.
We work alongside young people who are feeling suicidal, as well as those who support them. For young people we offer long term support over a lifetime rather than short sharp bursts of therapy which means young people can thrive rather than simply survive. As well as support for the young person, we also offer support for family members living alongside them through our Braver Together programme. Braver Together was developed through our understanding of the need for wrap-around, whole family support and consistency needed at home for suicidal individuals.
