Hi List
I’m sure that many of us have supported people in the workplace who have been affected by the suicide of a loved one, friend, colleague etc.
There is a new website by PHE which has support material, organisations to signpost to and a free downloadable guide.
Website is http://www.supportaftersuicide.org.uk/ and I have also attached the guide for those of you who prefer a download – it’s quite comprehensive.
‘The guide is designed to be given out by bereavement support organisations and by those who are likely to be first on the scene after a suspected suicide, including police and ambulance staff. It will also be widely promoted online through partnerships with coroners, funeral directors, police, doctors and bereavement counselling and support organisations.’
Regards
Karen
