Every Donation Makes a Difference
Without them, we simply couldn’t carry on providing the essential support that we do for people in emotional distress and with mental health issues.
Why we need your support
With a rise in those struggling with mental health in the Highlands, your support has never been more valuable.
Between 2011 and 2019, 6,798 people took their own lives across Scotland. 73.2% were male.
In 2019 Suicides in the Highlands were the 3rd highest in Scotland, behind only Glasgow and Edinburgh.
18.9 deaths per 100,000 residents.
In 2020 the Highlands had a significantly higher suicide rate than the rest of Scotland
"For anyone to have taken their own life is tragic so to see the latest figures is even more so and underlines the fact that more support than ever is needed for people who are struggling with how they feel.” – Donna Smith, Mikeysline Chairwoman
