The impact of suicide is far-reaching and can have consequences for not only the individual, but also their family and friends, work colleagues and community as a whole. Our no-cost service offers compassionate support to help you navigate the overwhelming emotions and challenges that come after losing someone to suicide.
Standby Support After Suicide is here to guide you through the processes involving the police and other organisations that follow a suicide. Whether you need someone to listen, practical advice, or referrals to additional services, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Support after a suicide is essential for helping loved ones navigate the overwhelming emotions of grief, confusion, and loss. Family and friends may experience a wide range of emotions and it’s important to recognise that everyone grieves differently and at their own pace.
At Social Futures, we have a compassionate team available in person or over the phone to help you find answers to your questions and connect you with the right organisations that can guide you through this difficult time.
