Suicide Prevention Resources and Supports

Click on the document below to find a selection of key signposting information related to learning, helplines and resources available to all across GGC.

 

During challenging times, you or someone you know may be experiencing distress and suicidal thoughts.  It can be hard to talk about your feelings, especially when you are feeling this way, but reaching out to those around you, or to the helplines listed on the pages below, is an important step in managing and overcoming these feelings.

These pages provide information and guidance to help support yourself or others who may be experiencing suicidal feelings:

• Preventing Self Harm and Suicide in Children and Young People
• I’m Worried about Self-Harm: Information for Young People and Parents/Carers
• Starting the Conversation
• Suicide Safety Plan
• Self-Harm
• Coping with Suicidal Thoughts
