About Iris Foundation
Our Vision
A community united against suicide, where strength and support work hand-in-hand.
Our Purpose
Iris Foundation works before crisis. We help people build the skills to cope, equip others to recognise and respond to struggles earlier, and create clearer pathways to practical and professional support.
We work in schools, workplaces and community settings so fewer people are left to struggle alone until their situation becomes urgent.
Iris Foundation Prevention Model
Earlier support changes what happens next.
We are deliberately changing conditions known to affect risk: coping capacity, social support, belonging, early recognition and access to help. Social support, connectedness, purpose and belonging are recognised protective factors, but they become credible only when connected to structured action. Read more via: Life In Mind
Iris Foundation Works Before Crisis
We build people’s ability to cope, equip those around them to respond earlier
and make support easier to reach before a situation becomes urgent.
