STOP Suicide was originally founded in 2004 by families who were bereaved by suicide. The organisation was rebranded in 2018 to North West STOP.

North West STOP provides counselling free of charge for all ages.

North West STOP is voluntary community-based organisation that works to prevent suicide by informing, educating and promoting positive mental health.
