Somerset Suicide Bereavement Support Service

Somerset Suicide Bereavement Support Service is here for anyone bereaved by suicide in Somerset.  We offer emotional support

as well as guidance through the trauma of sorting out personal affairs.  The service operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

 

Fully trained members of staff advise on matters such as liaising with the Police, Coroner’s office and faith groups.  Most importantly, we are here to listen at a time of great stress and anguish.  We provide telephone and face-to-face support, and host a peer support group for anyone bereaved by suicide, however recently or long ago.  Our peer support group, is a safe place where people can share their stories and feelings and derive some comfort from spending time with those who have similar experiences.  We also provide support and training to schools affected by the loss by suicide of a student or pupil.

 

Anyone in Somerset who is recently bereaved by suicide can phone or email us directly. We do not accept 3rd party referrals at this time.
