Caring & Medical Professionals who work with suicide-loss

Firstly, thank you for what you do.

Sadly, all current research shows that the provision of support by caring professionals is inadequate to meet the needs of those bereaved by suicide.

We aim is to change this.

Due to a lack of training and the infancy of suicide bereavement research, many professionals working with suicide bereavement feel helpless knowing how to support grievers.

And research has shown there can be complicated and heavy feelings projected onto professionals, which need regular processing to avoid overwhelm and compassion burnout.

Suicide Grief Support provide specialist training and supervision to prepare caring professionals to undertake this work effectively whilst safeguarding their own wellbeing.
