Established in 1997, STEP is a not-for-profit, rights-based community development organisation based in Dungannon, N Ireland. Our range of services has continually diversified in response to changing community needs and gaps in service provision. We have grown to provide both local and regional services to the community including frontline and specialist advice in areas of housing, immigration, employment, welfare and debt. We deliver community development projects and services and act as advocates at local, regional and policy level for community members. We manage a number of partnership programmes including An Tearmann, BELONG and Stronger Together. STEP delivers training in ESOL, employability skills and other bespoke training opportunities for groups. Services include room hire, facilitation, Interpreting & Translation Services, business unit rental; and we have offices in Dungannon, Coalisland, Magherafelt and Cookstown. Our ethos continues to centre on the empowerment of groups and individuals to participate in the socio-economic life of their community.
If you or someone you know is in danger of suicide, please seek help immediately. You should:
- Call 999;
- Call Lifeline on 0808 808 8000;
- Use your local emergency department.
Don’t try to manage your or someone else’s suicidal thoughts on your own. Remember, thoughts about suicide are just that – thoughts. They won’t last forever and often they pass quickly. Many people who have had serious thoughts about suicide have said that they feel completely different only hours later.
