I’m presenting findings 1st time about people aged 65–84 bereaved by suicide - the largest dataset of its kind internationally. If you work in postvention, suicide prevention, policy or elder care, this conference is relevant to you. 4049_SBUK_Conference_2026_flyer_online_v2.pdf

I'm raising £4000 to fund research to understand how attending an inquest affects people bereaved by suicide — to help improve understanding and future support.. Check out my @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/crowdfunding/s…
