This booklet offers practical guidance and emotional support following a possible death by suicide.
The purpose of this booklet is to provide practical guidance and emotional support following a possible death by suicide. It considers the range of feelings and reactions that may be experienced following an unexpected death, and offers advice on how to cope in the immediate aftermath of a bereavement and in the weeks, months and years following. It examines the issues that may arise for people with a particular relationship to the person who has died, and also provides guidance on how to support someone who has been bereaved.
These publications provide advice for people who have been asked to speak in public about their personal experiences of self-harm, suicide or other mental health issues, and the organisations that may be supporting them.
The Guide to speaking publicly is aimed at individuals considering an invitation to speak. It aims to help them think through whether now is the right time for them to share their experience and, if they choose to do so, it provides them with some useful tips on how to proceed.
