Bereavement support over the festive period

SAIF thanks SASP (Support After Suicide Partnership) for this information:

Bereavement support over the Festive Period

We know that the holiday season can be exceptionally hard for those of us that are missing a loved one. Because of this, we would like to take a moment to thank all of our members and supporters for the inspiring work they do to support all those that have lost someone to suicide throughout the UK; the incredible compassion and devotion of everyone working in the field continues to astound.

If you are struggling or feeling overwhelmed this season, or in fact at any time, and would like to speak to someone, please call one of the below helpline numbers to reach someone that can help. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@supportaftersuicide.org.uk for signposting to your nearest support service.
