• Increase access to information about other supportive services and resources that are available.
• Improve the range and quality of bereavement support after a death by suicide.
• Provide a point of contact for those bereaved by suicide to leave a request for support, available 24/7.
• Raise awareness of the incidence of suicide or attempted suicide in those who have been bereaved by suicide in primary and secondary care.
