A significant part of Humber Wellbeing Hub’s work focuses on supporting individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, or self-harming behaviours. Through dedicated suicide prevention and self-harm services, individuals can access immediate support in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental environment.
The Hub’s suicide prevention drop-in services provide an important early intervention resource, allowing people to speak openly, access support, and receive guidance without lengthy waiting times or complex referral routes. Alongside these drop-ins, one-to-one wellbeing sessions, counselling, and talking therapies help people develop coping strategies, build resilience, and improve their overall mental health and wellbeing. These services form a key part of the organisation’s ongoing commitment to preventing crisis and saving lives.
Humber Wellbeing Hub is inviting local organisations, businesses, community groups, and residents from across Hull and the East Riding to come together for the annual Festival of Hope, a community event dedicated to promoting mental health, wellbeing, suicide prevention, self-harm awareness, and social connection.
The Festival of Hope has become a powerful community event that aims to reduce stigma surrounding mental health, encourage people to seek support, and showcase the wide range of services available locally. The event brings together charities, statutory services, community organisations, practitioners, support groups, and businesses, creating opportunities for residents to access information, engage with services, and build meaningful connections.
Aimee Cooper, Manager of Humber Wellbeing Hub, said: “The Festival of Hope is about bringing people together, creating conversations, reducing stigma, and reminding people that they are not alone. Every year we see incredible support from local organisations, businesses, community groups and residents who share our vision of creating a more compassionate and connected community. We know that early intervention, community support, and simply having someone to talk to can make a life-changing difference.”
The Festival of Hope offers wellbeing activities, information stalls, demonstrations, community engagement opportunities, and opportunities to connect directly with local services. It provides an important platform for organisations working across mental health, wellbeing, suicide prevention, self-harm support, community development, and social inclusion.
Humber Wellbeing Hub welcomes enquiries from organisations interested in exhibiting, supporting the event, volunteering, sponsoring activities, or working in partnership to improve mental health and wellbeing across Hull and the East Riding.
