At your side. Suicide Bereavement Guides

Suicide Bereavement UK have developed a series of At Your Side guides for those bereaved by suicide in the Armed Forces community.

The three guides:

·                     At Your Side guide for veterans

·                     At Your Side guide for families

·                     At Your Side guide for serving personnel

Have been written by the bereaved, for the bereaved.

The guides have been produced by Suicide Bereavement UK, an internationally recognised organisation specialising in suicide bereavement research and the development of evidence-informed support materials for bereaved people.

The guides were commissioned by NHS England and co-produced with individuals bereaved by suicide as well as experts in military mental health, suicide prevention and bereavement.

The guides are based on the experiences and needs of those who took part in the Armed Forces Suicide Bereavement Study. All were bereaved by suicide, having lost a friend, colleague, spouse, partner, adult child, parent or sibling during or after military service.

The guides are free to download from www.suicidebereavementuk.com/armedforces/

Dedication

The guides are dedicated to those bereaved by suicide and to those they have lost in the Armed Forces community.
