Highlighted the need to measure impact of media campaigns on #helpseeking behaviour but to capture not only seeking healthcare but also helpseeking for debt/relationship problems & other social factors #ESSSB20

It's vital that everyone who is bereaved or affected by suicide is offered timely and appropriate support.  If you work with people who have been bereaved by suicide, you're not alone. Find our more about SASP membership here: supportaftersuicide.org.uk/membership/
