Harmless is the National Centre of Excellence for Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention. We know that with the right support and help, life can get better.
Harmless was founded by Caroline and Amy in October 2007, the duo, both with their own experiences used this and their passion to help others to turn the service from a dream into a reality. We are an all age, user led organisation, that provides a range of services about self harm including support, information, training and consultancy to people to self harm, their friends, families and professionals. We are people who understand self harm and at the heart of our service is a real sense of hope. We believe in hope and recovery. What support do we offer? We offer two streams of support for people that do or are at risk of self harm. These services are equal in terms of quality and skill of the workforce, but differ in terms of approach and the length of time that people can access them. Clinical Support Work draws upon the expertise of a specialist self harm organisation and works to provide a stabilisation intervention to those who self harm. We also have a team of qualified therapists that deliver a range of therapy opportunities to our service users. Trained across different therapy approaches we can provide short term, long term, and sometimes group psychotherapy
We can deliver support through multiple methods including: face to face, phone, online video support, email and post. We have a number of Clinical Support Workers and Therapists based in Nottinghamshire, Bassetlaw, Leicestershire and Rutland delivering one-one weekly emotional and practical support. Training and Information? Harmless has a specialist in-house training department called Let’s Talk Training. Our Specialist Training Team deliver a range of courses round the issues of self harm, suicide prevention, awareness and bereavement and mental health. We also produce a number of leaflets and resources about self harm aimed at improving awareness of self harm, challenging stigma and helping people move towards a better quality of life.

For , we had to return to the Robin Hood Half Marathon! Too many people to thank individually and so many photos to choose from, but we loved this one from ADC Infrastructure, who raised funds for us through the corporate challenge. Huge thanks again to everyone!
What an incredible day! Huge thanks to everyone who donated, volunteered, cheered, sponsored or supported at last weekend’s Robin Hood Half Marathon and Mini Marathon.
But a very special thank you goes to our incredible runners, who took on the challenge, ran their hearts out and raised an amazing £15,000 for our life-saving services.
Every mile they ran and every pound they raised will help us support those who need us most. We couldn’t be prouder or more grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.
Fancy joining the team in 2027? If you know someone who would like to run for us, they can register their interest here: https://tinyurl.com/4tkfyau5

If traditional mental health services feel sterile, intimidating or exhausting, our Choir for Hope is built for you. We gather fortnightly to sing, connect and share a space where nobody is judging you. You don’t have to call yourself ‘unwell’, and you don’t have to share your story. Clinicians are in the room as fellow humans if you need advice, but you can also just come, hum along and have a cup of tea in total peace.
No questions, no referrals – just connection, creativity and healing.
The Choir for Hope is meeting this Tuesday (6th October) in East Leake with full details available here: https://bit.ly/4rDmBDj
