Hey, I am Dan

danielle@suicideapuk.co.uk

I am the founder of SAPUK, I started SAPUK back in 2016 when I lost my stepdad to suicide, I found him so the scars are there and will always be there once on show – now healed, it has just become a part of me now. I think throughout life I have faced many torments, many broken days, many broken nights and a huge lack of support, something many will be able understand, not really having anyone through trauma.
When I faced the hardest pain of finding someone when depression took a hold it engraved within me like a embed I can’t remove, followed by more trauma, I had no intensive support so i had to heal within my own self, it was really tough, i started reading and sharing quotes to help me heal, to which SAPUK formed.
I have learnt so much over the years with SAPUK and outside of SAPUK, becoming a Suicide First Aider, Mental health first aider, studying self-harm in adolescence, mental health in the workplace, and others surrounding suicidal idealization and currently studying Bsc psychology to which i have my level 5 in psychology, i also have a level 4 in suicide prevention, to which this will always be continued learning, researching and understanding how a person can get to this point, my studying will progress to the Neurology within suicide prevention.
#mentalhealthmatters
I love working with SAPUK, I love conversing with new people and helping people to understand their mental health, I feel as though the world is tough more so for some at this moment in time, we need to spread some support, peace & love and I will do that everyday in whatever way I can.
I take suicide prevention extremely seriously i am obsessed with preventing it and that is all that anyone needs to understand as to why i do this.

I made the decision to join SAPUK in late 2022, when I came across the application it just felt right! I have suffered with my mental health from the age of 11, I’ve been diagnosed with depression, generalised anxiety disorder and C-PTSD. There have been a number of interventions during my journey including me having to spend a number of months in a psychiatric hospital at age 15 after a psychotic break. Along the way I have encountered multiple types of therapy, medications and treatment teams. In the past I have made attempts on my life and I did self harm for a number of years. In 2019 I was finally able to leave an abusive situation and since then I have felt a big improvement in my mental health. I am still seeking treatment and still have my bad days but I’m on the mend!

I wanted to volunteer to be able to support people when they need it most. I never want anyone to feel as lonely as I did! I have always been known as a person people can turn to and I honestly take pride in that. I know that sometimes you just need that person to talk to, wether it’s about what’s going on or just a chat to fill that void.

I am disabled; so between medical appointments I like to offer up as much time as I can to work alongside the brilliant team of volunteers here and give people a safe, friendly and compassionate place to come when they need it.
