The suicide group has dealt with a large range of issues covering both suicide and prevention and the support of the bereaved. It has attracted staff working in schools, higher education, the prison service, counselling services, the voluntary sector and the NHS. We have had national speakers giving us current, innovative information about the effects of suicide and its prevention.
