CHUMS – The Hertfordshire and West Essex Suicide Bereavement Service (HSBS)

CHUMS – The Hertfordshire and West Essex Suicide Bereavement Service (HSBS) supports people living anywhere in Hertfordshire and West Essex of any age. It is a confidential, free of charge service.

We are a small team of dedicated staff and volunteers, mostly with lived experience of suicide. International research has shown that very early support following a suspected suicide death gives most people the very best outcomes, emotionally and physically.

We can offer practical and emotional support within around 48 to 72 hours of a referral been received. We provide further advice and guidance in a pack of information delivered to you.
