Jessica Gallier-Booth

Jessica Gallier-Booth is the Founder and CEO of The Martin Gallier Project, a pioneering suicide prevention, intervention and postvention charity created from both heartbreak and hope.

After losing her father, Martin Gallier, to suicide in 2017, Jessica transformed devastating personal grief into a mission to ensure that nobody facing suicide crisis feels alone, unheard, or without hope. What began in the depths of loss has grown into a life-saving movement, with The Martin Gallier Project now delivering 60,021 suicide interventions and becoming a vital lifeline for thousands of people and families navigating crisis.

Under Jessica’s leadership, The Martin Gallier Project has become internationally recognised for its compassionate and groundbreaking approach to suicide crisis support, providing immediate, non-clinical interventions on the high street with no waiting list, no criteria, and no barriers to access. The charity’s innovative model has not only challenged traditional crisis pathways nationally, but has also shown the extraordinary power of human connection, compassion, and community-led support working alongside the NHS and statutory services.

 Driven by both lived experience and unwavering determination, Jessica is a passionate advocate for hope, early intervention, and creating Suicide Safer Communities where nobody has to face crisis alone. Through The Martin Gallier Project, she continues to prove that even in the darkest moments, hope can be found, lives can be saved, and suicide is preventable.
