The Care and Support Packs for Families and Friends Bereaved
by Suicide provide important information to help families
and friends through this difficult time. Three booklets
are included. The first is about dealing with grief and
loss. The second booklet provides practical information
on issues that arise following a suicide death such as
dealing with police, the Coroner and funeral directors.
The third provides personal insights from a mother whose
son died from suicide. Contact numbers for community support
groups who can provide further help are also included.
Preventing suicide and suicidal behaviour is a high priority
for my Government. Working together as a caring community
we can do much to prevent this human tragedy. I commend
the development of the Care and Support Packs. They will
be a very valuable resource for families and friends in
times of great need.
