CALM, the campaign against living miserably exists to support young men who are depressed or feeling down. The new CALMZone London helpline and texting service launches on 26th November to help prevent suicide – the biggest killer of young men in London.
The new CALMZone service operates a telephone helpline between 5pm and midnight on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, every week of the year. Calls are free (from landlines and some mobile phone providers) and the helpline is anonymous and confidential. www.thecalmzone.net
CALM encourage young men to break the silence & Topman provides the perfect platform to make a big noise and raise awareness for the new CALMZone London helpline. Through the power of music CALM takeover Topman & the two join forces for this exciting, unique event.
Zane Lowe says: “What support groups like CALM do is help men who struggle with balance to understand that they are not alone. That when things get too much, there is help at hand. It’s really important that music plays a part in this. It helps people to express themselves when simple dialogue is not enough.”
Huw Stephens says: “I’m looking forward to a special day of music to highlight a very worthy cause. It’s going to be a fun day and will hopefully bring CALM to the forefront of a lot of people’s minds.”
Kissy Sell Out says: ‘I think the tendency to “bottle things up” is an institutional phenomenon amongst young men and the suicide rate of under 35s is frankly horrifying. The service offered by CALM to help anyone who contacts them is both important and dignified, so I am very proud to be supporting this cause with future events.”
