Urgent help

Call 999 if you or someone you know needs urgent assistance for a life-threatening emergency (mental or physical health).

Be the One is about suicide prevention, aiming to reduce the number of lives lost to suicide.

The information on our website is to help those who are thinking about suicide and direct them to support services that can help.

There is also information that can help family, friends, or colleagues who are worried about someone.

Be the One is supported by Rotherham Council, NHS services in Rotherham, South Yorkshire Police, Voluntary Action Rotherham and other voluntary and community groups.

The website is maintained by Rotherham Council.

A person holds a smartphone displaying the text "Be the One to talk, listen, care." The phone has a pink case and is viewed in a room with chairs. The tone is encouraging and supportive.
