Support for schools
Sadly, death by suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. Additionally losing a friend, family member as a result of a suicide can be one of the most traumatic events a child or young person can experience. It is therefore vital that educational organisations have the support and insight they need in order to provide the best assistance they can for any students, families or staff affected by suicide.
Raising awareness, and creating an environment where those who may be at risk of taking their own life feel they can get the support they need, can save lives.
