Maytree

Who we are

Maytree is a registered charity supporting people in suicidal crisis in a non-medical setting.

Our mission is to alleviate suffering and help people in suicidal crisis to re-engage with life and to restore hope.

The Maytree Suicide Respite Centre is the only place of its kind in the UK.  It fills a gap in services, between the medical support of the NHS and the helplines and drop-in centres of the voluntary sector.

We offer a free 4-night/5-day stay, and the opportunity to be befriended and heard in complete confidence, without judgement and with compassion and warmth.

· Maytree supports people through a suicidal crisis

· We provide a safe place and a chance to rest, reflect and be heard without judgment

· We help guests consider their options and develop their resilience
