Description
The Suicide Liaison Service provides support and guidance for adults registered at a GP practice in Cornwall who are affected by a death that may be a suicide, wherever the death has taken place. We work with Cornwall Mind who facilitate longer term support for adults.
What we provide: • Face-to-face contact with a qualified and experienced mental health practitioner with specialist training in traumatic grief and loss.
• Information, practical support and guidance about the investigation of a death and sorting out personal affairs.
• We work closely with the coroner’s staff and can help you to understand the inquest process and, when required, provide support at the inquest.
• We liaise with, and can make referrals to, other statutory and voluntary services that can help you.
• We deliver 8-week courses for people bereaved by suicide, facilitated by our suicide liaison staff.
• We can also provide information and support in the work place where staff have been affected by a death of someone who may have died by suicide.
