New guide launched to support the voluntary and enterprise sectors and faith organisations after suspected suicide
Jami partnered with the public health team at local authority, Barnet, to create a new guide to support the voluntary and enterprise sectors and faith organisations after suicide. Although it is a scenario we all hope not to face in our work and our communities understanding how to support colleagues and clients after a suicide as part of first response planning can alleviate some of the stress and pain in helping everyone cope.
You can take a look at the guide here Coping After Suicide – A Guide for Organisations | Barnet Council
