Notice Title

Reducing Hopelessness Through Positive Activities

Notice Description

Norfolk County Council has procured a service which is aimed at supporting men in Norfolk aged 18 and above presenting to GPs feeling depressed and hopeless. The Procurement will be delivered against Public Health and the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention priorities with agreed targets and deliverables. Our overarching aim is to reduce deaths by suicide in Norfolk to as close to zero as possible. Over 75% of those who take their own lives are male. Men often do not feel comfortable in seeking advice or support from traditional services available and some fall back on coping strategies that may be damaging to their health e.g. alcohol and drugs. The delivery partner will deliver the prevention and positive activities (PPA) work across Norfolk and Waveney. They will deliver this through a strengths-based approach supporting men to promote positive mental health outcomes by developing a better understanding of themselves throughout the various life stages.
