Young people bereaved by suicide can experience grief in complex and isolating ways, and may find it difficult to know what might help. Coping after suicide loss is a free, open-source guide offering practical and accessible ideas to support young people as they navigate life after loss, alongside signposting to further sources of support.
This guide was co-designed with young people who have lived experience of suicide bereavement, and was developed by the Helix Centre, a lab for design and health within Imperial College London, and in collaboration with UCL Faculty of Brain Sciences. It was created as part of the Peer support for bereavement in young people project, funded by the Co-operative Foundation’s #iwill Bereavement Fund.
This resource may be helpful for young people themselves, as well as for organisations and professionals supporting them.
