Change Mental Health (Suicide Bereavement Support)

The Suicide Bereavement Support Service offers free and confidential one-to-one support for anyone who has lost a loved one to suicide in Highland and Argyll & Bute. It’s open to people who live in the area, and also to people whose loved one died in the area. Support can be delivered over the phone, face to face, or by video call, and is available for as long as it is needed.

The specially trained team can offer a safe and empathetic space to talk and be heard.  They will help you navigate the many and complex emotions felt after a suicide. The initial shock can be devastating and overwhelming but remember, you are not alone.

The team can support you in the days or weeks immediately following a suicide on in the months, or even years, after your loss. They can also help with practical things like talking to GPs, the police or the procurator fiscal’s office. They can even help you to organise a funeral.

The impact of suicide reaches far and wide, affecting more than just immediate family. You can also access the service if you are a friend, colleague or neighbour.
