Empowerment Charity is in the process of setting up a new service aimed at preventing suicide in Blackpool and supporting those who have been affected by a loss through suicide. This will include a range of new peer support groups that will target specific community groups who have experienced a loss. We will also raise awareness and bring the community together in the immediate weeks after a suicide has occurred, in the aim to help support families and the community in that area.
We are in the early stages of developing this project and would really appreciate your input into the following questions so we can create a marketing campaign to reach anyone who has experienced a loss through suicide. We know and understand the sensitive nature of this subject and want to get this right so your input is really important, especially around what we should call the project and language that is used in communication.
We appreciate writing your story can be a trigger and urge you to reach out for help if you feel you need support. You can call The wellbeing and mental health helpline service on 0800 915 4640 Mon-Fri 7pm til 11pm Sat-Sun 12pm till midnight. If you need free, confidential support around suicide bereavement please call 0330 088 9255
Thank you for your help.
