Impacted by the loss of Cal Stuart in January 2021 to suicide, The Calzy Foundation is the voice of a young generation – a tribe of energised young activists who have been deeply affected by the mental health crisis. We are ready to create the change that our policymakers are failing to put in place for us. The Calzy Foundation has three core goals:
campaign.
To campaign for the UK Govt to establish a distinct three-digit Mental Health Emergency helpline, operated and staffed by professional mental health practitioners, providing an emergency triage and support service referral provision – 365 days a year – 24hrs a day – 7 days a week. To date we have 200,000 signatures in support of our campaign!.
action.
Fundraising activities that enable The Calzy Foundation to offer FREE Mental Health ‘Check-In’ workshops to young adults (18-30) – providing practical, accessible guidance, tips tools and resources that empower young adults with the confidence to reach out to their friendship circle; family or work colleagues – and to check-in with them regarding their mental well-being.
life.
We continue to be inspired and energised by our Calzy Foundation Youth Board to move the dial towards the de-stigmatisation in public discussion and dialogue around mental health and suicide. We need to break down that barrier.
