Suicide Bereavement Services

One-to-one

You’ll be assigned a suicide bereavement practitioner who has lived experience of loss by suicide. Through six one-hour sessions, you’ll have the space to talk and explore your feelings, as well as getting practical support. Support can be face-to-face, over the phone, on Zoom or via WhatsApp.

As a group

You might have experienced loss as a group of friends, or part of a community group. You can receive support as a group with a postvention practitioner, to help you talk to and support each other.

At work

If you lose a colleague, we can offer suicide bereavement support to a workplace. This can include group bereavement support, training, resources and signposting.

As a family

In Leeds and Kirklees, we offer whole family support. This means that a parent or carer can benefit from one-to-one support, and the whole family can have sessions as a group.

In Bradford, Calderdale, Craven and Wakefield, we can also help support the whole family more indirectly. Get in touch for details.

In school, college or uni

If an education institution (such as a school, college or university) experiences a loss by suicide, it can be helpful to offer support to students, staff and your wider community. We can offer group bereavement support and training to help staff manage the situation. We can also offer resources and signposting to more services.

Other support

Self support information – we always start with trusted and established resources, such as ‘Help is at Hand’, ‘Finding the words’ and ‘Is What I’m Feeling Normal?‘
