Mental Health & Human Resilience

Mental health support should be easier to find, safer to navigate and built around people - not systems. VellumWorks creates free digital resources, ethical content standards and practical tools to help charities, communities and individuals connect with support earlier.

We do not provide therapy, diagnosis or emergency crisis support. We help people find trusted support and practical next steps.

If you need urgent support

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please contact one of these services:

Projects

No Wrong Door

A support signposting project helping people find the right type of help - even if they don't know what they need. Wherever someone arrives, they should be guided to the right support.

No Wrong Door will provide simple, safe pathways based on how someone feels, not what system they happen to land in:

  • I need help now
  • I want to talk to someone
  • I'm worried about someone else
  • I feel lonely
  • I'm grieving
  • I'm struggling with work or money
  • I'm a parent or carer
  • I work or volunteer for a charity

Safe Pages

Free website templates for charities and community organisations that need clear, accessible support pages. Many small charities have confusing or missing crisis pages - Safe Pages gives them ready-made templates they can use immediately.

Templates will include:

  • "Get Help Now" crisis page
  • Mental health support page
  • Suicide prevention signposting page
  • Bereavement support page
  • Domestic abuse signposting page
  • Volunteer wellbeing page
  • Safeguarding page

Talk Better

Conversation guides and anti-stigma resources to help people have honest, supportive conversations about mental health - whether with a friend, colleague, partner or family member.

Resources will include:

  • How to check in on a friend
  • What to say when someone opens up
  • What not to say
  • Workplace check-in scripts
  • Men's mental health conversation guide
  • "I don't know how to say this" message templates

Suicide-Safe Publishing Checklist

Guidance for charities, journalists, bloggers and content creators on how to write about suicide safely and responsibly - including safe language, crisis signposting placement and content review checklists.
