EPiC HOPE is dedicated to creating supportive communities where mental health is a shared responsibility. Our Harbours, located throughout Wigan and Leigh, are more than safe spaces; they are active centres for connection. Recognising the urgency in areas with increased suicide rates, we also take our efforts directly into the community, ensuring no one is overlooked.
Our resources are readily available for everyone. Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts, or want to help someone who is. With our straightforward, free materials, you can learn to detect distress and offer meaningful support, guiding yourself or others towards appropriate care.
Access these tools online or pick them up at your nearest EPiC HOPE Harbour. By equipping ourselves with knowledge and compassion, we can all contribute to a mentally healthier and suicide safer community.
We do this by identifying and supporting those in crisis, nurturing an inclusive environment of compassion where every person can share, connect, and find hope and healing, without stigma.
We are dedicated to empowering community members with the skills to save lives and to building a network of understanding and resources that assists anyone touched by suicide.
Our vision is a future where every person in our boroughs recognises their inherent value and feels a steadfast sense of hope and connection.
We strive to establish a compassionate society where the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide is eradicated, and open conversations and support systems are the norm, leading to a zero-suicide reality.
We are committed to equipping individuals, communities, and institutions with the resources, education, and support needed to prevent suicide and to nurture strength, understanding, and the preservation of life at every opportunity.
Our core values are rooted in compassion, connection, and courage. We believe in the power of empathy to understand and support those in pain. We value the strength of community and the importance of building meaningful connections to combat isolation. We champion the courage it takes to reach out, to speak openly about struggles, and to stand together in the face of adversity. Education, respect, and inclusivity guide our actions as we strive to create communities where every life is valued and every cry for help is heard and answered.
