Welcome to Zest

 

Zest exists to address the problems which lead to suicidal behaviour and direct and/or indirect self-harm in young
people and adults.

 

Zest is a voluntary organisation that will give supportive care to people suffering emotional pain and hurt. We will do this through the human responses of caring, kindness and acceptance. We are committed to provide this within a relationship of trust and respect for each person. Zest provides individual counselling, listening ear support, family and group support, social support and complementary therapy to individuals who self-harm, are at risk of suicide or are emotionally distressed.

 

The focus of all our interventions is to ‘work with the person behind the behaviour’.

 

Overall, we aim to generate a greater level of awareness and understanding of self-harm and suicidal behaviour and bring about change through our therapeutic interventions and training. In our work we strive to operate in a manner that empowers individuals by regarding all our interventions as a human response to human problems.
