Help is at Hand
Coping with the reality of someone we know taking their own life is really difficult, for many people and in lots of ways. There is a leaflet for people bereaved by suicide which some of us have found useful to read called ‘Help Is At Hand’. It’s also for friends and colleagues of bereaved people to give an idea of what they might be going through.
You can download it as a PDF booklet – CLICK HERE.
At a Loss
There is also ‘At a Loss‘ a website which helps bereaved people find support and wellbeing. This is a national signposting website which has “Everything bereaved people in the UK need in one, trusted place, which signposts them easily to support (national, specialist and local services) reliable information, resources and emergency support.” To find out more, CLICK HERE.
Feeling low?
There is a very good and accessible website for young people who may be feeling especially low, depressed or suicidal:
Students Against Depression www.studentsagainstdepression.org
“Students Against Depression provides you with the resources you need to find a way forward from stress, low mood, depression or suicidal thinking.”
