Our Story
Turning Point NI is a community-based charity committed to supporting individuals, families and communities affected by mental health challenges, suicide, self-harm and addiction.
Founded in Ballymena, our organisation was established with a simple but powerful purpose: to ensure that anyone facing emotional or mental health difficulties has access to compassionate, professional support when they need it most. We believe that no one should have to struggle alone and that every person deserves to be listened to without judgement.
Over the years, Turning Point NI has grown into a trusted provider of counselling, therapeutic support, suicide prevention initiatives, addiction recovery services, wellbeing programmes and community education. Our experienced team works alongside individuals from 11+, helping them build resilience, improve their mental wellbeing and develop the confidence to move forward with hope.
We are passionate about reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraging open conversations within our communities. By working closely with schools, employers, healthcare professionals, community groups and partner organisations, we aim to promote early intervention, raise awareness and improve access to life-changing support.
Every person who comes through our doors has a unique story. Our role is to provide a safe, welcoming and supportive environment where people feel heard, respected and empowered to take positive steps towards recovery.
As we continue to grow, our commitment remains the same: to provide accessible, person-centred services that strengthen individuals, support families and build healthier, more resilient communities across Northern Ireland.
Because every conversation matters, every life matters, and hope is always possible.
