Our groups are run by volunteers, many of whom have lived experience of bereavement by suicide personally. We have many group meetings across the UK and every one of them is unique because they grow and develop according to the needs and aspirations of those who use them. What they have in common is the support, understanding and acceptance one can only get from someone who has been where you are.
Please note that the locations for support groups shown are not precise. We keep locations private, so please contact your nearest group to get the details of the exact location.
Those of us who have experienced this terrible tragedy truly understand. None of us need to suffer alone. Together we help each other.
We help individuals support each other, at the time of their loss and in the months and years that follow. We aim to provide safe, confidential environments where people can share their experiences and feelings, giving and gaining support from each other.
By entering your postcode or local town, you can locate your nearest peer to peer support group. We offer both face to face and virtual support groups. Our group facilitators have also been bereaved by suicide, so you will be met with understanding.
Our supportline is run by trained volunteers personally impacted by suicide. While we’re not a counselling service and can’t provide support for wider mental health or social care needs, we’re here to listen and support your grief journey. Due to demand, call duration is limited for support at scale.
Some people find it easier to write down their thoughts and feelings or ask for information when it might be difficult to pick up a phone. Like the Supportline, our Volunteers have experience of suicide bereavement.
