Suicide

If you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts, it’s really important you speak to someone. The organisations listed on the link below are all there to listen and support you.

Losing someone to suicide is an incredibly difficult and painful experience, and the impact can be felt long after the loss. Seeking support during this time can make a real difference, helping individuals and families to navigate grief, reduce isolation, and access practical and emotional help when it is most needed.

Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB commissions a dedicated postvention service to ensure that anyone bereaved or affected by suicide can access timely, compassionate support.

Support is available, and no one has to cope alone.
