HUGG is an essential lifeline for people who have been bereaved by suicide. Our services include suicide bereavement support groups led by trained volunteers with lived experience of suicide loss, resources on grief after suicide, public events and webinars and advocacy and research focused on suicide bereavement support.
Our postvention work is an important part of suicide prevention. Postvention refers to activities that occur after a suicide to help reduce the risk of further suicides or suicidal behaviours and promote healing for people bereaved by suicide. Through being there for those who have lost someone to suicide, HUGG helps to reduce the heightened risk that the bereaved by suicide person may experience following a suicide – which it has been established is ten times higher than with the general population.
