Supporting Suicide&Co

Suicide and Co logo

Suicide&Co is a national charity with the core purpose of supporting those bereaved by suicide and open up the conversation around suicide-related grief. The main support that Suicide&Co provides is one-to-one bereavement counselling. They also run the first national suicide bereavement helpline run by bereavement counsellors open Monday – Friday 9am-9pm. Their website includes a Help Hub to support those bereaved by suicide from day one. Both their social media and website are sources of information; curating existing content, signposting to useful resources and highlighting lived experience. By offering consolidated and specific information in a user-friendly hub, they provide access to the right information as quickly as possible and welcome them into a non-judgemental community.

Their Founding Story

Bereavement in all forms can be traumatic, however, suicide often brings a range of added emotions to navigate. The team’s passion for helping others deal with this specific type of grief comes from a variety of personal experiences of losing a loved one to suicide. It all started with our co-founders, Amelia and Emma, who both lost a parent to suicide. With their entrepreneurial spirit and empathetic nature, this double act is determined to do things differently; providing the support needed whilst also opening up the conversation and addressing the stigma.

Suicide&Co strongly believe in the power of conversation and use a variety of initiatives to spark conversations and encourage open dialogues around suicide-related grief and mental health more generally
