Hello

The experience of bereavement following a suicide can be intense and overwhelming. There may be a wide range of feelings and thoughts which are difficult to understand and to manage. This website aims to assist you with this experience.

We encourage you to listen to your needs regarding what you read and when. Sometimes it's helpful to read in small doses, so as to avoid becoming overwhelmed.

We have information and resources and we provide counselling and group support directly to those bereaved by suicide. We also provide education and professional development to health, welfare and education professionals.

Support After Suicide is a program of Jesuit Social Services and is funded by the Department of Health and Ageing under the National Suicide Prevention Strategy. Read More
